I’d never turned a pizza crust every 20 seconds like that before! The result was amazing. All my non-vegan friends loved it, and many asked for the recipe! Thank you.
It really helps an even cook in the pizza oven doesn’t it – glad they all loved it!
Another winning vegan recipe! My husband has been cutting back on meat and increasing veggies. He loved this pizza.
I usually buy the pizza dough but this one looks really simple. I give it a try. Thanks
Such a good pizza. We have reverted to making our own pizzas since nothing is very good by us. I love all the toppings you added and the pizza came out perfect.
I am not vegan, however I was very curious about how a vegan pizza tastes 🙂 We made it with kids following your recipe and experimented a bit with toppings.. So pizza was just perfect!
