Make Vegan Pizza Yourself: The Best Tips and Tricks

For many connoisseurs, salami, ham, and, above all, cheese belongs on a pizza. A pizza also tastes good in the vegan version. With a few tricks, you don’t have to do without the fullest enjoyment.

These ingredients belong on every vegan pizza

A vegan pizza is no less tempting than its meat and cheese counterpart. This is how your vegan pizza becomes a real pleasure:

• Pizzas that were vegan existed in Italy as early as the 18th century. Just leave the cheese out altogether and focus on the other ingredients instead.
• However, if you do not want to do without cheese, you can use numerous substitute products. Most are yeast or soy-based and will melt on your vegan pizza.
• If you love mozzarella and want to avoid soy, you can use mozzarella substitutes to give your vegan pizza the ultimate creaminess boost.
• The dough and tomato sauce on a pizza should be vegan anyway. If you come across a recipe that uses milk, eggs, or butter in the batter, just look for another. Animal products have no place in pizza dough.

Ideas for a vegan pizza

These pizzas may not have fish or meat, but they will certainly make you forget any limp frozen pizza:

• The Puritan: fluffy, crispy pizza crust, juicy tomato sauce with olive oil, and spicy oregano. This is how Apulians of the 18th century enjoyed a vegan pizza. So why not you too?
• The Fischer: Tomato sauce, zucchini, and grilled eggplant bring enough creaminess to make you forget about any supermarket cheese. The zucchini comes fresh on the pizza and stays crunchy. The aubergine only gets really creamy if you fry it slowly in a little olive oil before baking and deglaze it with a dash of balsamic vinegar.
• The sheep in wolf’s clothing: If you really want to satisfy your meat cravings, you can use spicy merguez, vegan of course. With spiciness, you can spoil the usual tastes and conceal the fact that it is not real meat after all. The spiciness can be ideally rounded off with creamy mozzarella substitute, juicy tomato sauce, and fresh basil. If you like it extra spicy, add freshly chopped garlic.
