🍅 Toppings 

  • 1 onion cut into two and then in rings
  • 1 rode bell pepper in half rings
  • 6 mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 zucchini cut into thin long slices along its length (about 3mm.)
  • handful of green/black olives, without pit, cut in two

1. Put the zucchini in the oven and let them roast for about 10 minutes in the oven on 180C. Or if you prefer grill them in a grill pan.

2. Fry the onion and the bellpepper on a very low heat in a bit of coconot oil and let them gently caramalize while you prepare the other ingredients of the pizza.

3. Put the mushrooms and olives aside in a small bowl to put on top of your pizza later on.

🍕 Gluten-Free Crust

  • 1 sachet of yeast
  • 1 cup of warm water (warm but not hot!)
  • 1 cup of buckwheat flour
  • 1 1/4 cup of brown rice flour
  • 2 tbs of grounded flax seeds
  • 1 ts of salt
  • 1/2 ts of dried oregano
  • 1/2 ts of dried basil
  • a dash of grounded red chilli
  • 1 tbs maple syrup  (can also be honey if you do not want your pizza to be vegan)
  • 1 ts of apple cider vinegar

1. Mix the yeast through the warm water, stir until dissolved.

2. Put all the other dry ingredients into a large bowl, mix and create a little hole in the middle. Pour all the liquid ingredients (yeast water, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar) in it. Mix well and put aside, covered with a cloth.

🍅 Tomato Sauce

  • 1 can of organic tomotoes in cubes
  • 1/2 ts dried oregano
  • 1/2 ts dried basil
  • a dash of dried red chilli
  • 1/2 ts of salt
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic chopped

Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and put aside to put on your pizza.

🧀 Vegan Cheese Sauce

  • 1 1/2 cup of almond milk (without sugar)
  • 1/4 cups of nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup of brown rice flour
  • 2 tbs of tahin
  • 2 tbs of arrowroot powder
  • 2 ts fresh lime juice
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 ts (small) of salt

1. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with an immersion blender, or put them in your blender.

2. Mix until it is a smooth sauce.

3. In a small pot on medium heat stir until the sauce becomes thicker, don't let it become too thick, you need to be able to pour it over your pizza.

🔪 Pizza Assembly & Baking

And now finally 'le Moment Supreme', composing your piece of art, your pizza! I preferred to use a baking tin with a non-stick coating, about 20 by 30 cm.

1. Dust the baking tin with some flour and put the crust mix in it. Also dust the crust mix to avoid it sticking to your hands.

2. Press it out towards the sides and try to make it evenly thick everywhere.

3. Spread the tomato sauce on top and then the vegan cheese sauce.

4. Top with the zucchini, caramalized onion and bellpepper, mushrooms and olive. If you wanna add other things, go ahead!

5. Bake for 20–25 minutes at 180°C (356°F), until the crust is lightly golden and toppings are gently roasted.

6. When your pizza is done it should come out of the baking tin easily and the crust should be light golden brown.

Buon Appetito!
