Almost Raw Mediterranean Pizza

This is based off mediterranean-style pita sandwiches a fellow intern and I used to make at Vegan House for “family dinners,” except we would also make Fantastic Foods falafel (that stuff is actually really good!) for our sandwiches and a side of frozen french fries with Vegenaise. Mmm, good times.

Anyway, the pizza: Baked the dough on the stone by itself, then spread on some homemade hummus and topped it with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and olives. I would’ve garnished it with parsley except the herbs I have growing on my windowsill aren’t big enough to use yet! I then realized that if not for the dough, this pizza would totally be raw, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Pizza Friday: Wheatball Pizza

This post contains many firsts! It was my first time cooking from Vegan on the Cheap, which just came in the mail a few days ago and I made 2 recipes from, my first time using the shredding blade on my food processor (which was fun, and I only did because I had the food processor out already but would not use if I hadn’t), my first time putting carrots in marinara sauce, and of course my first time making a “meatball” pizza.

The pizza was inspired by this delicious looking one posted on the PPK forums. The original purpose of my pizza was to see how it would taste with Veganomicon beanballs, but then I saw the wheatballs in VOTC and was eager to try them. I also made the marinara sauce from VOTC instead of Vegan With a Vengeance‘s pizza sauce.

Belated Buffalo Tofu Pizza

As you were probably able to tell from the links I posted yesterday, I tried my hand at buffalo tofu pizza again. This time I was successful in not flipping it upside down in the oven! I was very proud of myself.

Square pizza! Because pizza bakes so much better on a stone (like, infinitely better this time than on the cookie sheet I used last week) and my little stone is the perfect size for a little rectangular pizza.

I made the buffalo tofu from this post, and used the marinade/sauce as the sauce for my pizza. I then put the tofu on and topped it off with a mixture of Teese and Daiya. I made some “blue cheese dressing” from this recipe and plopped some spoonfuls of that on top, something I hadn’t done last time I tried making this pizza.

The pizza overall was really good! It could’ve been a little hotter (I even added some Sriracha to the sauce to make it hotter), but that could have been due to the really cheap hot sauce I used (erm, Tops store brand). The blue cheese dressing I made was alright, though strangely some bites seemed to have more tang than others.

Pizza Friday…?

Nope, sorry, it’s going to have to be Pizza Saturday this week.

Someone* forgot to remove the pizza dough from the freezer this morning, so it’s still defrosting and rising its second time.

I can, however, give you some hints on said pizza: mer, mer, and mer.

*okay fine, I admit it! It was me! It’s all my fault!
