Chef Joeys Yeast Free Vegan Pizza Pie Recipes

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!

HEALTHY VEGAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Stir flour into yeast mixture until dough holds together. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Place dough in a bowl and cover with a towel; set aside until dough has risen slightly, about 30 minutes.
• Place peeled garlic cloves in an 8x8-inch baking dish; add olive oil, oregano, basil, marjoram, and sage.
• Bake garlic in the preheated oven until softened, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
• Coat a baking sheet with a layer of the cooled olive oil with herbs; spread dough onto the oiled baking sheet. Brush more oil and herbs on the top of dough.
• Mash the garlic cloves in a bowl using a garlic press or fork; stir nutritional yeast into mashed garlic. Add some of the herbed olive oil if mixture is dry. Stir tomato sauce into garlic mixture. Spread sauce over dough. Top with red onion slices.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is crunchy, 10 to 20 minutes. Arrange avocado slices over pizza.

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!
