Pizza 2 ways


Over the summer Zoey and I tried our hands/ paws at making vegan pizza from scratch. Now that the rainy days of winter are here we decided to give it another try since we liked it so much.


We started with some veggie pepperoni slices for extra protein. Then we added some olives for salt (hooray for pregnancy cravings) and some yellow bell pepper.

We made the dough in the breadmaker with whole wheat flour and baked the whole thing for about 15 minutes. Before I could snap a picture somebody took a little nibble from the corner.


Later in the week I was thinking of pizza again and decided to use the leftover materials to make a personal size pizza for lunch. We used the same toppings and the rest of the pizza sauce.



The secret change is that we used a slice of Flatout bread for the crust. Flatout bread is kind of like a tortilla with fiber and protein. We baked the bread in the over at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes on its own and then added the toppings. We cooked the whole thing for another 10 minutes and then dug in, it was delicious! There is something exciting to me about having my own personal size pizza and this definitely is something that I will be making again.

yummy pizza! I think it would be worth getting a breadmaker for homemade pizza dough.

I love tortilla-ish pizza. it's so good. ah, the flexible tortilla...

Dreena Burton makes hers w/ hummus instead of tomato sauce and they are really awesome.

Your pizza looks fantastic! And your Flat Out pizza too, what a great idea!

Thank you for your birthday wishes and get well wishes! Aren't those chocolate cookies from Veganomicon the best? I loved them wish cashew chunks!
