Recipe taken from the tops book "Now Vegan!" by Lynda Stoner.
Dough:
2 cups plain flour
1 packet active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tabelspoons olive oil
1 cup warm water
Sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
2 small-medium tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup tomato paste
Toppings:
bbq sauce
meltable soy cheese
3 or more types of meat substitutes, such as:
- Veggie sausage thinly sliced
- veggie beef (e.g. burger patties cut into small chunks)
- veggie mince (made from textured proteins, onion, garlic, soy sauce and tomato paste)
Tempeh slices
Marinated tofu, cubed
Mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 fresh tomato, thinly sliced
fresh herbs
preheat oven to 180c.
Combine the dry ingredients for the dough in a large mixing bowl, then add the olive oil and water. stir until your dough balls up and wont absorb any more flour. now sprinkle a little flour onto a clean bench top and rub your hands with some flour to stop the dough sticking, then start kneading it. after a few minutes of kneading, your dough should be nicely combined and stretchy. at this point you can stretch it evenly across your pizza tray. this amount should make plenty of dough for a 12-14 inch pizza tray, or several smaller ones.
To make sauce: saute the garlic and onion in olive oil for two minutes, then add the herbs, salt and pepper. stir in your tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for another 5 minutes
(alternatively, if you're feeling lazy you can buy a premade pizza base and pizza sauce but watch out for milk solids and animal derived additives in the ingredients)
Spread some pizza sauce over the dough, then add a liberal amount of bbq sauce over the top. grate some soy cheese over the sauces, then start adding your faux meat and tofu. add some thinly sliced mushrooms and tomato, and possibly some fresh herbs, before grating more soy cheese over the top.
Pop your pizza in the oven and cook for 10-12min until the edges of the pizza base turn brown.
chow down and enjoy!!!!!!
