Chef Joeys Vegan Nori Pizzas Recipes

CHEF JOEY'S VEGAN NORI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Prepare the 6 nori sheets by brushing water on 3 of the sheets and then stick one sheet on top of each of the 3 sheets on 3 separate plates.
• Set aside.
• Shred the carrot. Shred the cheese. Set them aside.
• Chop up the bell pepper, olives and tomatoes. Set aside.
• In a food processor combine the avocados, yeast, garlic powder, and 6 basil leaves. Puree and then set aside.
• TO ASSEMBLE THE PIZZAS:.
• Divide the Avocado puree between the three Nori sheets.
• Divide each of the vegetable between each of the 3 pizzas.
• Top each pizza with the veggies and the shredded cheese.
• Chop the 6 remaining basil leaves thin and top each pizza with 1/3 of the leaves.

CHEF JOEY'S YEAST FREE VEGAN PIZZA PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400'F.
• Put the flours, salt and baking powder into the bowl of a food processor and process until well combined.
• Mix the olive oil and water together and pour through the feeding tub of the food processor.
• Process for a minute or so and then check your dough. It should be somewhat sticky.
• Let it sit in a bowl with a damp cloth over it while you prepare your toppings.
• For my pizza I like to use chopped onions, garlic, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, sweet bell pepper and vegan cheeses.
• Of course this is a personal choice. Just remember not to over load the pizza with toppings and sauce. Moderation is best for even baking.
• Once you are done cutting up toppings put the pizza crust onto an oiled 12" pizza pan and bake it in the preheated 400'F oven for 12-15 minutes.
• In the meantime, cook the onion and pepper for a few minutes, then add the garlic and mushrooms until just done.
• When the pizza crust finishes take it out of the oven then top it with the pizza sauce and cover it with toppings and then the cheese. I use Vegan Jack Cheese and Powdered Vegan Parmesan. You can also add Soy Pepperoni if you wish.
• I put the pizza back into the oven for another 10-15 minutes so the cheese melts and the crust gets a nice light golden colour.
• Bon Apetit!

CHEF JOEY'S VEGAN PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor add the spelt, whole wheat, corn flours, sugar, herbs, baking powder and baking soda.
• Process these dry ingredients well, making sure all the ingredients are combined.
• Using a whisk, in a different bowl mix the yogurt and oil well. Add it through the feeding tube of the food processor until the dough forms a ball.
• The dough will be sticky. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead for a few minutes until the dough is less sticky and easy to handle.
• Don't add too much more flour however, you don't want the dough to be tough.
• Put the dough into a bowl to rest and cover with a damp cloth for about 25 minutes.
• Oil the pizza pan with a little olive oil.
• In the meantime prepare your toppings.
• When the 25 minutes have passed press the dough onto the pizza pan.
• Add the toppings and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes. The edges of the dough should have risen and be a medium golden brown shade.
• Bon Appetit!
