VEGAN MUSHROOM, PEPPER, & OLIVE PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until mostly crumbly, about 10 pulses. Add the mushrooms and pulse again until crumbly, but do not to overprocess.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until semi-translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the mushroom walnut mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, until most of the liquid from the mushrooms has been released and evaporated. Add the soy sauce, paprika, fennel, salt, and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes more, until the mushroom mixture begins crisp slightly. Remove from the heat.
• Use your hands to stretch the pizza dough into a circle about 14 inches (35 cm) in diameter and ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) thick. Lay on a sheet of parchment paper.
• Spread the marinara sauce over the pizza dough in an even layer, then sprinkle with the vegan mozzarella. Top with the mushroom walnut mixture, olives, and bell pepper.
• Bake for 14-16 minute, until the crust is lightly golden around the edges.
• Cut into 8 slices and serve.
• Enjoy!
