ALMOST-VEGAN COLD VEGETABLE PIZZA



Almost-Vegan Cold Vegetable Pizza image

Veggie pizza is a finger-food staple at my family's picnics and pot-lucks. In an attempt to make it better for you, I switched up some ingredients for a nearly fat free, low carb treat. Any vegetable or combination of veggies can be used. The measurements listed below are approximately what I used as you need enough to cover the entire pizza. I am very new to cooking with tofu, but I read somewhere about sterilizing the silken tofu to make a cream cheese substitute. Therefore, I dropped the block of tofu into a pot of boiling water for 3.5 minutes before beginning the pizza, just to be on the safe side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right dough: For a crispy crust, use a pre-made pizza dough or make your own using bread flour and active dry yeast. If you're short on time, use a store-bought flatbread or even a tortilla.
  • Don't overload the pizza: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy. Stick to a few key ingredients and spread them out evenly.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the toppings from becoming overcooked.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pizza will taste. Look for ripe vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and a good quality olive oil.
  • Be creative with your toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to pizza toppings. Experiment with different combinations of vegetables, cheeses, and meats to find your favorite.

Conclusion:

Cold veggie pizza is a refreshing and delicious summer meal that is perfect for parties or potlucks. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple tips, you can make a cold veggie pizza that will impress your friends and family.
