Make vegan pizza yourself: the best tips and tricks
For many connoisseurs, salami, ham and especially cheese belong to a pizza. A pizza also tastes good in a vegan version. With a few tricks you don't have to do without full enjoyment.
These ingredients belong on every vegan pizza
A vegan pizza is no less seductive than its meat and cheese-like counterpart. Your vegan pizza will also be a real pleasure:
- As early as the 18th century, pizzas in Italy were vegan. Just leave the cheese out completely and focus on the other ingredients instead.
- However, if you don't want to do without cheese, you can resort to numerous replacement products. Most are made from yeast or soy and melt on your vegan pizza.
- If you love mozzarella and want to avoid soy, you can use mozzarella substitutes to give your vegan pizza the ultimate creamy kick.
- Dough and tomato sauce should be vegan with a pizza anyway. If you come across a recipe that uses milk, eggs or butter in the batter, just look for another one. Animal products have lost nothing in a pizza dough.
Ideas for a vegan pizza
Although these pizzas are neither made with fish nor with meat, they are sure to make you forget any ragged frozen pizza:
- The Puritan : Fluffy, crispy pizza base, juicy tomato sauce with olive oil and spicy oregano. Apulians of the 18th century enjoyed a vegan pizza. So why not you too?
- The Fesche : Tomato sauce, zucchini and grilled eggplant bring enough creaminess to make you forget any supermarket cheese. The zucchini comes fresh on the pizza and remains so crunchy. The eggplant will only be really creamy if you slowly sauté it in a little olive oil before baking and deglaze with a dash of balsamic vinegar.
- The sheep in wolf's clothing : If you absolutely want to satisfy your lust for meat, you can fall back on hot merguez, vegan of course. With spiciness, you can anticipate and conceal the familiar taste that it is not really meat. The spiciness can be ideally rounded off with a creamy mozzarella substitute, juicy tomato sauce and fresh basil. If you like it particularly spicy, add freshly cut garlic.
