Dairy Free Veggie Pizza

dairy free veggie pizzaPizza is one of America’s favorite foods.  When I stopped eating dairy, I was often asked if I missed pizza.  The answer was always no, because we never stopped eating it.  We still order pizza at restaurants, at our local grocery store and we love to make it at home.  At first we made it with lots of cheese substitute and then we realized it was better with just the veggies and sauce.  One of my favorite things about homemade pizza is, that once it is prepped and in the oven I have time to clean up the kitchen and get a few other things done.

What you Need for this Dairy Free Veggie Pizza:

Pizza Dough (White, Wheat, Whole Grain)

flour for dusting the surface

Tomato sauce (Pizza sauce, pasta sauce, or crushed tomatoes)

Vegetables for toppings I used:

caramelized onions

carmelized onions

roasted peppers

cherry tomatoes

roasted peppers cherry tomatoes

spinach

Other great toppings:

Olives

Artichoke hearts

garlic

broccoli

I added a little soy-based cheese this time.

What To Do:

Prepare the dough as directed on the package.  (We bought the pre-made dough from the grocery store.  Most pizza shops will also sell their dough and there are so many great pizza shells on the market now.)

After we spread out the dough I put it in the oven to bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.  This helps crisp it up a bit before adding the toppings.

Remove the crust from the oven, top with sauce, veggies and cheese of your choice.  Place the pizza back in the oven and cook at 350 for about 10 minutes, just long enough to make sure all the ingredients are heated through.

Remove pizza from oven, slice and enjoy!

This week we had ours with a side of broccoli.  A side salad would be great too.  I was expecting there to be leftovers for lunches but only 2 small pieces were not eaten.  It was really good!

What are your favorite pizza toppings?

    I am vegan, but am a big pizza lover! I started out with faux cheese, too – but now just make my pizza with olive oil, basil and red peppers (with a garlic tomato sauce).

    I haven’t tried organic soy-based cheese yet, but am looking forward to it as I cut meat and dairy from my diet for compassionate and environmental reasons.

    I just had a veggie pizza for dinner last night, (store bought Freschetta). It was good, but this would be so amazing, I am going to have to try it with the carmelized onions, yummy!!!

    I like the idea of caramelizing the onions! I am vegan and love making pizza, too! Sometimes we use Daiya mozzarella non-dairy shreds and Yves meatless pepperoni if we are really missing “real” pizza. Thanks for sharing!

    This recipe is awesome. The Caramelized onions really add flavor. I recently ordered a cheese free pizza with tons of veggies for an office party.. I thought I would be taking half of it home. To my surprise, the omnivores were going in for seconds and it was gone! I used to be the biggest cheese and chicken eater and I really don’t miss it. The only time I do is when in a pub style place with bar food. Mootz sticks, hot wings, nachos etc. But I get over it fast and there is always some kind of alternative.

      I agree..often when people try “vegan” dishes, they are more than satisfied.
