First Attempt Vegan Pizza…Success!

Yay! I’ve been wanting to try making vegan pizza for a very long time, so I finally got my stuff together last night and went out to get some vegan Daiya mozzarella and other goodies. (portobello mushrooms, onions, peppers…)

I returned to my kitchen, and this is what happened:

…not bad!!

I used my usual dough recipe, except this time I substituted 1/3 of the wheat flour for some millet flour. Good stuff (:

Homemade Cheese Spread (vegan)

If you looked at tonight’s post on lemon curd, you may have noticed that when it was spread on toast, it really resembled something…cheese!!

So, naturally, I made cheese (:

• 1tsp fermented tofu (I tried this for the first time, and in small doses, the smell resembles cheese)
• a pinch of salt
• kelp powder (Gives it a mild flavour. I’m thinking nutritional yeast might work as well.)
•  1/4 cup firm tofu
• 3tbsp of my vegan lemon curd
• a pinch of dried onion
• a pinch of chili powder
• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

And then, I mixed them all up with my mortar & pestle to make it into a fine paste (the amount was too small for a food processor).

- Tastes great for things like pizza toast (:  Next, I’m going to try making an actual whole pizza, stand by for photos

By the way, I just found this great site  while I was looking for an explanation of fermented tofu. It lists and explains pretty much every soy product I can think of! Check it out if you’re interested:

Super Quick Vegan Pizza!

For dinner tonight, I had a super quick (and healthy) vegan pizza…using my favorite whole grain tortillas (:

On top of the tortilla, I just laid down some salsa, red onions, peppers, oregano, vegan cheese, aaand vegan ham that I just picked up at one of those Taiwanese stores I keep raving about! (I’ll make a separate post on the ham later)

Takes about 10 mins in total
