CHEF JOEY'S VEGAN NORI PIZZAS



Chef Joey's Vegan Nori Pizzas image

This is probably the most healthy pizza I've ever eaten. I have been making it for several years. Instead of tomato sauce you use an avocado sauce. You don't cook the vegetables or the pizza, its mostly raw. Make sure you have a lot of napkins around, this pizza is messy to eat :)

CHEF JOEY'S VEGAN PIZZA CRUST



Chef Joey's Vegan Pizza Crust image

I made this tonight and have to say it was one of the most delicious crusts I've ever made. It was light and fluffy. Best of all it's totally Vegan. I used a 12" non-stick pizza pan but a 15" pan would work too.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup spelt flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup cornflour
3/4 cup raw sugar
1/2 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs (or herbs of choice)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum free)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups plain soy yogurt (soy)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor add the spelt, whole wheat, corn flours, sugar, herbs, baking powder and baking soda.
  • Process these dry ingredients well, making sure all the ingredients are combined.
  • Using a whisk, in a different bowl mix the yogurt and oil well. Add it through the feeding tube of the food processor until the dough forms a ball.
  • The dough will be sticky. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead for a few minutes until the dough is less sticky and easy to handle.
  • Don't add too much more flour however, you don't want the dough to be tough.
  • Put the dough into a bowl to rest and cover with a damp cloth for about 25 minutes.
  • Oil the pizza pan with a little olive oil.
  • In the meantime prepare your toppings.
  • When the 25 minutes have passed press the dough onto the pizza pan.
  • Add the toppings and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes. The edges of the dough should have risen and be a medium golden brown shade.
  • Bon Appetit!

CHEF JOEY'S YEAST FREE VEGAN PIZZA PIE



Chef Joey's Yeast Free Vegan Pizza Pie image

I enjoy using this recipe because I love pizza but can't eat dairy and what would a pizza be without cheese! So it was a blessing to be able to eat this dish without worrying about my cholesterol hitting the roof. The crust is lightly crunchy and very tasty. I like to cover my pizza with organic veggies and vegan cheeses.

Categories     Vegan

Time 49m

Yield 1 pizza pie, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup spelt flour
1/2 cup wheat bread flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup water (filtered)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can pizza sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400'F.
  • Put the flours, salt and baking powder into the bowl of a food processor and process until well combined.
  • Mix the olive oil and water together and pour through the feeding tub of the food processor.
  • Process for a minute or so and then check your dough. It should be somewhat sticky.
  • Let it sit in a bowl with a damp cloth over it while you prepare your toppings.
  • For my pizza I like to use chopped onions, garlic, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, sweet bell pepper and vegan cheeses.
  • Of course this is a personal choice. Just remember not to over load the pizza with toppings and sauce. Moderation is best for even baking.
  • Once you are done cutting up toppings put the pizza crust onto an oiled 12" pizza pan and bake it in the preheated 400'F oven for 12-15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, cook the onion and pepper for a few minutes, then add the garlic and mushrooms until just done.
  • When the pizza crust finishes take it out of the oven then top it with the pizza sauce and cover it with toppings and then the cheese. I use Vegan Jack Cheese and Powdered Vegan Parmesan. You can also add Soy Pepperoni if you wish.
  • I put the pizza back into the oven for another 10-15 minutes so the cheese melts and the crust gets a nice light golden colour.
  • Bon Apetit!

Tips:

  • When making the dough, be sure to use a food processor or high-powered blender to get a smooth and consistent texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor or high-powered blender, you can also make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • You can use any type of flour you like to make this dough. All-purpose flour, bread flour, and whole wheat flour are all good options.
  • If you are using active dry yeast, be sure to activate it in warm water before adding it to the dough. To activate the yeast, dissolve it in 1/4 cup of warm water (110-115°F) with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it is foamy.
  • Once you have made the dough, let it rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
  • You can use any type of toppings you like on your pizza. Some popular options include vegetables, cheese, and meat.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza. This will help to create a crispy crust.

Conclusion:

This vegan pizza crust is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pizza crust. It is made with a combination of whole wheat flour, almond flour, and tapioca flour, and it is naturally gluten-free and vegan. The crust is also very easy to make, and it can be used to make a variety of different pizzas. Whether you are looking for a healthy weeknight meal or a fun party appetizer, this vegan pizza crust is a great option.
