It's PIZZA NIGHT!!!

Well, I'm all about comfort food this week. And I've been seeing horrible Pizza commercial's on TV all weekend, so I decided to do something about it tonight and make my own!! I'm always on a search to turn the food I THINK I'm craving into good for me VEGAN food. My next venture will be Mac-N-Cheese.....but that's another night.

Tonight I made Whole Wheat Pizza with Mushrooms & Garlic. My house smells SO YUMMY right now!!! Here are the ingredients;

This is the crust recipe;

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 package active dry yeast
3/4 tsp sea salt
1 cup hot water
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp raw sugar

These are the toppings;

8 oz. package button mushrooms
4 cloves of garlic
olive oil
basil
12 oz can of fire roasted crushed tomatoes (Muir Glen Organic)
1 cup Daiya cheddar style shreds
1 cup Daiya mozzarella style shreds

(to prepare crust)
Pre-heat oven to 425.
In large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, yeast and salt. Blend in water, oil & sugar. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed. Cover and let rise.

While it's rising, chop mushrooms & garlic. Saute lightly in large pan with a bit of olive oil.

Then after letting dough rise, spread on pizza pan (you might have to use a little flour as dough is quite sticky). Spoon half of the tomatoes on. Put mushroom & garlic on. Then, first cheddar then mozzarella "cheese".

Bake for 20 min. Let cool. Slice & Enjoy!!!

Now....I made two pizza's. So I doubled everything except the tomatoes. You would just use half a can on each pizza. (I had just a bit left in the can, so not quite half & half. I didn't want it too runny)

I have to tell you, this is my first venture into making my own Vegan pizza & I am LOVING IT!!!
SERIOUSLY! It tastes better than regular pizza!
It is a little sweet from the tomatoes, & VERY creamy from the "cheese". I didn't need any extra salt, just what I put in the crust. You can adjust seasonings to your own liking, but really, letting the ingredients stand on their own is all you need. It is UBER tasty!!! LOL

My husband has band practice tonight & the meat/dairy-eating boys just had bites & they LOVED IT!....They said it was so good, you would never even know it wasn't "real" pizza if I hadn't told them!

I was worried about the cheese, but had heard all the hype about Daiya cheese, so I had to give it a go & let me tell ya, it does NOT disappoint!!! :o)

Try this healthy, yummy, Vegan alternative next time you have pizza night! You'll be happy you did!!

Price;
$25 for ALL ingredients (for 2 pizza'a)
....so divided by 2 that means 12.50 a pizza.
I am cutting them into 4 big slices so that's $3.13 a slice.
If you want smaller slices you could do 6 at $2.08a slice.
Still a HUGE bargain!!
And remember....ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS TOO!!!...<3
