Vegetarian Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in milk. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add the flours, xanthan gum, oil, vinegar, sugar and seasonings. Mix until a ball forms (dough will be soft)., Sprinkle cornmeal over a 7-1/2-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray. Press dough onto prepared pan, building up edges slightly. Do not let rise. Bake at 425° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. , Spread pizza sauce over crust. Top with onion, green pepper, mushrooms and cheese. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the cheese into large chunks that will fit in the shredder attachment of a food processor. Shred the cheese in the processor. Sprinkle cornmeal on a clean surface and roll out the dough until it is approximately 1/2-inch thick (should be about an 18-inch circle). Transfer dough to a pizza stone or rimless pan large enough to hold it.
• Spread the sauce over the surface of the crust, leaving approximately 1/2-inch of crust around the edge. Sprinkle the cut vegetables on top of the sauce and then sprinkle the cheese over the veggies.
• Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve hot.
• Sift the flours together in a medium sized bowl. Place the yeast in a separate bowl and pour the warm water over it; let stand for about 5 minutes. Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, mixing for approximately 5 minutes. Set the dough aside to rise for approximately 2 hours.
• Once the dough has risen, roll out the dough to a circle that is approximately 1/2-inch thick and about 18 inches in diameter.

Steps:

• I use a food processor to make the dough. Place the flour and salt in first then give it a whizz, add the dried yeast and sugar, mix while adding the olive oil first then the warm water. Continue mixing until a soft dough is formed. If you use a food processor you don't need to knead by hand. But if you do it by hand pop the ingredients into a large bowl and mix, then turn out and knead for about 10 mins.
• Place dough in an oiled polythene food bag allowing space for the dough to double in size. Place in a warm place and leave to rise for about 1 hour.
• Once risen remove from bag place on floured surface and knock back. Then roll out to your required thickness. The dough is enough to make one 12inch round pizza. You can either flour the tin or use baking parchment to line.Place the rolled out dough onto the tin and prick with a fork to stop it rising too much.
• Mix all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and spread on top of the dough. Sprinkle with grated cheese and add your chosen topping then finally sprinkle the basil and oregano on top.
• Place in a preheated oven on gas mark 6 to7. Cook for about 20 mins or until golden and crisp around the edges.
• Remove from tin, slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Shape and stretch dough into a 12" circle.
• Sprinkle the counter with cornmeal. Place circle of dough on top of cornmeal; press down lightly; transfer to pizza pan.
• Spread bruschetta evenly over top. Sprinkle with basil and oregano.
• Evenly scatter spinach, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, eggplant and both cheeses over top.
• Bake for 12 - 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix water, yeast and sugar and let stand 10 minutes to start bubbling.
• Add flour to yeast mix and blend well.
• Place in a greased or oiled bowl, and cover with a warm damp cloth.
• Allow to rise in a warm place until double in bulk, around 1 hour.
• Punch down dough and pat out onto an oiled (or cornmeal dusted) pizza pan to form the crust.
• Bake in a preheated 450° F oven for 7 minutes. Crust may be refrigerated or frozen at this point. If using right away, turn oven down to 350°F.
• Place olive oil, basil, garlic, ketchup, pine nuts, and lemon juice in blender and process until smooth.
• Spread mixture onto baked pizza crust evenly.
• Add tomatoes, mushrooms and onions (or whatever you like, really) and bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
