Sweet and savory and topped with lots of amazing flavors!

I obviously love pizza a lot and I love making pizza. My husband told me earlier I need to make sure I space out my pizza recipes more so people don’t think I’m just a pizza blog. lol

I can’t imagine ordering a pizza these days unless I was in New York or I was on a trip. It’s so fun to make your own pizza and decide how to top it. I also love making ricotta for my lasagna (recipe to come) and thought it would be delicious on a pizza.

Ingredients Details

• Yeast – I use Fleischmann’s Rapid Rise yeast for this dough.

• Very Warm Water

• Flour – I always use King Arthur.

• Vegan Cheese – I used Simple Truth mozzarella.

• Carrots – You’ll need one carrot. Shred your carrot and sprinkle it on the pizza. All the flavor and the texture is still smooth and not overly crunchy.

• Pears – Thinly sliced with a knife or mandolin.

• Walnuts – Chopped walnuts will get crispy while in the oven and taste so good on this pizza. I could eat it all day!

• Silken Tofu – Silken tofu turns into an amazing ricotta with the right seasonings.

• Nutritional Yeast – I feel like too much nutritional yeast is called for in some vegan recipes. I like nutritional yeast, but only in small amounts. If you’re into it, feel free to add more to this recipe.

• Plant Milk – You’ll just need a small amount for the ricotta. I recommend oatmilk or a nutmilk.

• Olive Oil – This is to add extra flavor to the ricotta

• Kale – Chop the kale and sprinkle on the pizza. It will get crispy and blend so well with the other flavors and textures.

• Garlic Salt

• Italian Seasoning

Detailed Instructions

Make dough. Mix yeast and very warm water. Pour in flour and mix well until combined. Knead until dough forms a consistent substance. Place in a clean, oiled bowl and cover for 10-15 minutes. I like to use a metal bowl and wash it with hot water before covering it so that there is added warmth to help encourage the dough to rise.

Mix ingredients for ricotta. In a separate bowl mix tofu, milk, nutritional yeast, olive oil, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning. Mix well so that it forms a smooth texture similar to ricotta.

Prep veggies, fruits, and nuts. Thinly slice the pears, shred the carrots and chop kale & walnuts.

Assemble pizza. Toss out the dough to form a pizza shape or spread it out on a pizza pan. Spread ricotta mixture evenly onto the dough. Layer the pears, carrots, nuts, and kale. Sprinkle vegan cheese on top.

Bake. Set oven to 425° and bake for 16 minutes.
