The Best Lebanese Veggie Pizza Recipes

ULTIMATE VEGGIE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit with a rack in the upper third of the oven. If you're using a baking stone or baking steel, place it on the upper rack. Prepare dough through step 5.
• Spread pizza sauce evenly over the two pizzas, leaving about 1 inch bare around the edges. Evenly distribute the spinach on top of the sauce, followed by the cheese (use all three cups if you want a cheesy pizza as shown here).
• Top the pizzas with artichoke, bell pepper, red onion, tomatoes, olives and almonds (if using).
• Bake pizzas individually on the top rack until the crust is golden and the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 10 to 12 minutes (or significantly less, if you're using a baking stone/steel-keep an eye on it).
• Transfer pizzas to a cutting board and sprinkle with with fresh basil, red pepper flakes and Parmesan, if using. Slice and serve! Leftover pizza keeps well in the refrigerator for 4 days, or for several months in the freezer.

THE BEST LEBANESE VEGGIE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F.
• Chop the parsley, onion, and tomatoes then place in a medium-sized bowl. *Best to taste the veggie mix and adjust to your liking. It should taste tangy since that sourness will decrease once they are baked.
• Drain the water from the veggies. Spread the veggies onto your round prepared dough. Bake 450 F for 11-13 minutes! Broil on high for 1 minute.

LEBANESE BREAD PIZZAS

Steps:

• Pre-heat fan forced oven to 180°C.
• Place cubed sweet potato in microwave safe bowl and cover with hot water. Cover bowl and cook in microwave for about 4 - 5 minutes or until just tender. Stir half way through cooking.
• Lay out Lebanese breads on ungreased oven trays and spread tomato paste or pizza sauce onto them.
• Wash silverbeet well and slice out centre vein. Chop roughly and line the bottom of the pizzas with as much or as little as you like.
• Drain sweet potato and place cubes evenly on pizzas.
• Place as much pepperoni and ham as you like on each pizza. (I usually use about 8 slices of pepperoni for each one).
• Next goes the tomato wedges.
• Place the cubed feta in the gaps on the pizzas. (You can layer the feta and tomato on the pepperoni if there isn't enough room).
• Sprinkle the top of each pizza with pizza cheese.
• Bake in oven for about 15 minutes or until the top browns slightly.
• 1 pizza per person as a general rule. Keeps well for a couple of days in the fridge and can be reheated in the microwave.
• TIP: It's also nice to just spread garlic butter on the bread and toast in the oven.
