Vegan Margherita Pizza

Vegan Margherita Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pizza crust
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • ½ tomato, sliced thinly
  • A big handful of fresh
  • basil, chopped
  • ½ package Daiya vegan cheese or ½ mozzarella ball (either sliced or shredded)

Making the pizza

  • Preheat the oven to 450F or as hot as it will go, and if you are using a pizza stone, put it in the oven as it preheats.
  • While the oven is preheating, prepare the crust (according to directions) and toppings: thinly slice the tomato, chop the basil (a couple rough cuts through the bunch to break up any large pieces is fine) and either shred or slice the cheese.

     

  • Once the crust is ready, spread a layer of tomato sauce over the pizza, then place the tomato slices on top, spacing them out evenly. Distribute the basil evenly, followed by the mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake at 450F for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is browned and bubbly. It takes longer than you think.

Slice and enjoy!
