When it comes to favourite foods pizza has got to be right up there in my top 3! When I learned that healing my skin pretty much involved excluding every component of pizza from my diet I could have cried! And now look ... a pizza without any of those things and it tastes amazing. Check out this little video I made of me throwing the toppings on. You don't have to copy mine, add whatever you like. I've used violife parmesan cheese which is just brilliant instead of dairy cheese.
INGREDIENTS
Pizza Base
1 sweet potato
100g gluten free flour (you might need more)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp mixed Italian herbs
Salt
Toppings
100ml tomatoless sauce
1 tsp mixed Italian herbs
4 tbsp fresh pesto
50g artichoke hearts
Handful of pine nuts
50g vegan cheese
50g wild mushrooms
HERE'S HOW
Peel and boil the sweet potato until soft and allow to cool
Add to a food processor along with your flour, nutritional yeast, herbs and salt and combine. You need to form a dough, so keep adding flour until the mixture sticks together well and can be kneaded
Remove from the food processor, knead for a couple of minutes. Then grease a sheet of baking paper with olive oil and roll the dough out onto it in a circle
Put the pizza base in the oven at 170C for 10 - 15 minutes
In a pan add the tomatoless sauce and cook over a high heat. You're wanting it to bubble so that it thickens. Add the Italian herbs and garlic. You'll need to cook it for 5 to 10 mins until it's thick, then allow to cool
Remove the pizza base from the oven. Spoon the sauce onto the pizza base and spread evenly
Add the mushrooms, pesto, artichokes and cheese and return to the oven for 8 - 10 minutes until warmed through
Slice and serve
Hello Chris, it is … but it depends a little bit on the size of the potato … I usually make two small pizzas with this quantity. Hanna x
Is this recipe for an individual pizza?
Hey KJ, if you find nightshades in particular an issue, check out The Vegan Kind website. They have a huge range of ‘cheese’ options, included grated pizza cheese! Which is nightshade free :) Hanna x
Is the potato starch in the vegan cheese ok for all with psoriasis?
