Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 3 cups cooked brown or white rice
• 1 egg-replacer beaten
• 2 tablespoon grated vegan ‘parmesan cheese’
• 2 teaspoon basil
• 4 oz vegan ‘mozzarella cheese’
• 1 cup vegan low fat vegan pizza sauce
• 1 cup mushrooms*
• 1 cup red or green pepper

Directions:

Mix first four ingredients together. Press mixture into a 12-inch pizza pan. Bake in a 350-degree preheated oven for 10 minutes. Top with remaining ingredients. Return to the oven and bake until the vegan ‘cheese’ is melted.

*Not a fan of mushrooms? Why not try olives or another vegetable topping?

Serves: 6 servings

Preparation time: under 20 minutes

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• sourdough vegan bread loaf
• vegan pizza sauce - whatever cheap vegan kind around
• nutritional yeast flakes
• granulated garlic

Directions:

Cut the loaf into some thick slices (as many as
you want - I like to eat 2 or 3 at a time). Then
spoon some sauce on top of each slice - not too
much, not too little. Sprinkle the nutritional
yeast flakes on top of that - not enough to
smother the sauce, but enough to make an
impression! Then sprinkle some garlic on that.
pop the slices in the toaster and, when the edges
start to brown, pull ‘em out and wallah! vegan pizza!

Preparation time: 5 - 10 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 pre-made vegan pizza crust
• sliced mushrooms
• 1 sliced onion
• sliced green pepper
• sliced black olives
• oregano
• 1 jar of favorite vegan pizza or spaghetti sauce
• vegan soy mozzarella cheese
• virgin olive oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Spread some sauce to your pizza crust,
Sprinkle all veggies, add some Olive
oil, add the cheese in top of the
veggies.

Put the pizza in the oven around 8 -
10 minutes or until the crust is
crispy and the soy cheese is melted.

Enjoy.

Preparation time: 5-15 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 Everything Bagel
• 1/2 Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Pasta Sauce
• 4-5 Black Italian Olives
• 1-2 sun dried tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon chopped onion
• 1-2 Basil leaves
• Optional toppings (fresh tomato, oregano, mushrooms, baked tofu, vegan ’sausage’, etc.)

Directions:

Slice and toast the bagel. Then spread a thin
layer of the pasta sauce then spread the
avocado nice and thick. Then top with chopped
black olives, sun dried tomatoes, basil and onions or
whatever toppings you like on your pizzas. Do
this to both sides of the bagel and eat open
faced like a pizza. Not exactly like a pizza but
tastes really good…

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• two 9″ frozen vegan corn meal pizza crusts
• 1 cup Veganaise
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 cup shredded vegan mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 1 cup black olives
• 1 cup pineapple segments
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a
medium sized bowl, combine Veganaise,
shredded Vegan cheese substitute,
garlic powder, oregano, and cayenne
pepper. Spread most of mixture evenly
on frozen cornmeal crusts. Layer
Spinach leaves thinly so as to cover
the white sauce on both crusts. Spread
a second layer of sauce over the
spinach. Organize black olives and
pineapple segments on top. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Bake for 15
minutes. Slice and enjoy!

This is a very versatile recipe. You
will obviously use your own favorite
pizza toppings, mine happen to be black
olives and pineapple. Other toppings
that I use are Vegan pepperoni slices,
caramelized onion, chopped tomato,
chopped shallots, and green peppers.
Also, adding a thin layer of tomato
sauce over the white sauce gives it a
fun zip! This same recipe on a brown
rice crust (also available in the
frozen section of most heath food
groceries) will work for those who are
looking for a gluten-free option. One
important note is to make sure the
cheese substitute you use is truly vegan.
Most have Casein, a milk protein, but
there is one brand that I have found,
called actually VEGAN, that is casein-
free and comes in a purple package.
Hope you all enjoy and I’m looking
forward to hearing your variations on
this recipe!
