Pizza! Calzone!


Pizza Dough by Dieter

1 packet yeast
1/4C Water
1T Soy/almond milk
Flour
2T Olive oil

Simpler dough

1 packet yeast
1/4C Water
Flour
  • Start the yeast with a bit of lukewarm (handwarm) water (1/4C) and maybe a bit of soy/almond milk (1T, I put this in to not add any sugar which I used to start the yeast). Let this sit in a warm place for about 10-20 minutes, until a foam starts to develop on top.
  • Then start to add flour and start mixing. Add more water (about 1 cup of water per pizza) and mix. I also add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. The dough will take up quite a lot of flour; the consistency is right when the dough comes off easily (does not stick to your hands or the metal pans). You might need to mix and knead it with your hands at the end, as the electrical mixer did not seem powerful enough.
  • Let this sit for about an hour (or longer). The dough will increase about 2-3 fold in size.
  • Once you want to bake the pizza, knead the dough again down to size, adding salt (I tend to add it at this stage because salt might inhibit the yeast). Put a bit of olive oil on the pan, take the dough to spread the olive oil across the pan and also have oil on the dough (which seems to make it easier to spread it as it lowers any remaining risk of it sticking to your fingers). It takes some time spreading the dough. It will now rise a bit more while you put on the sauce and topping so that it gets a bit fluffy.

White garlic pizza sauce by Corina and Dieter (trying to recreate the Pizza Pi sauce)

2T White flour
2T Soy margarine
1C Soy cream
2T Water
Sugar
Salt
1 clove garlic (chopped or crushed)

Melt the margarine, add flour and stir on low heat. Add soy cream and stir on medium heat. Add garlic, sugar, and salt, then water while stirring. Makes enough for one large rectangle pizza. Put sun dried tomatoes, spinach, and pineapple on the pizza to recreate the Pizza Pi Summer Favorite of the old days.

Pizza Margarita by Corina

Basil leaves, sliced heirloom tomatoes, Daiya mozzarella

Corina and Josh’s Favorite Pizza

Black olives, pineapple, Daiya mozzarella 

Multiple Cheeses Pizza

Thin dough, only a thin spreading of tomato sauce, black pepper, and multiple cheeses (in Germany combine SimplyV Natur, Rewe Bio Mozzarisella, SimplyV Hirtenguss, plus potentially our cheese sauce)

Potato Pizza

Sauce = bechamel (melt butter, add cornstarch, stir, add veganaise, paprika, turmeric, salt) 
Toppings = potatoes (boiled and thinly sliced, sprinkle black pepper on top), green olives with pimento, marinated tofu pieces (Cauldron in the UK), Daiya mozzarella (VioLife mozzerella in the UK)


Buffalo Pizza



Follow the recipe at The First Mess. Corina likes the following modifications:

Buffalo Pizza
  • Instead of roasted onion cream, use our cheese sauce
  • Instead of arugula, use peas. Omit the green onions
  • For the ranch dressing, use Veganz sandwiche crem Dänischer art
  • Mix the hot sauce in the buffalo cauliflower batter all at once and bake for 35 min in one step rather than in 2 steps

Calzone

We use this great recipe by plant based on a budget https://plantbasedonabudget.com/easy-homemade-pizza-dough-calzones/#wprm-recipe-container-17319   Calzones are handy for saving for later because the cheese stays melted for much longer than pizza and you can just pick them up and eat them like a pocket.
