No meat, no cheese, no problem. [logo]( [hero]( [Sarah Jampel]( Test Kitchen Manager Whether you’re trying to eat less meat and dairy in 2023, you eat plant-based all the time, or you’re looking for something slightly different than your usual, now is the moment to bake a vegan pizza. You heard me: Pizza doesn’t need pepperoni — or even cheese — to be satisfying and delicious. If you’re skeptical, let this recipe prove it. This week's assignment Make a pizza without meat or dairy using the recipe and tips below. [Get the recipe]( 1. Hooray! Pizza dough is naturally vegan There’s no need to veganize pizza dough: Made with just flour, water, and salt, it fits the bill already. The dough for our [Easy Vegan Pizza](, which you may recognize from our [Grilled Pizza](, is as delightful as they come. Our [‘00’ Pizza Flour]( yields a tender yet elastic dough, and a bit of olive oil makes it extra supple.

Plant-based pizza toppings have come a looong way Restaurants have been making A+ vegan pizzas for years, and now, the wide selection of plant-based meats and cheeses at grocery stores means that home cooks can get in on the action, too. I love Miyoko’s Vegan Pizza Mozzarella, which is a liquid that solidifies into the texture of melted mozzarella as it bakes. As for plant-based meats, call me lazy (or am I just resourceful), but I gravitate towards those that can go straight on the dough without being cooked, like Abbot’s Butcher Plant-Based “Chorizo.” [hero]( 3. A dip or a drizzle can take a pizza from good to great If your pizza tastes like it’s missing something, add a condiment. In this recipe, a chimichurri-inspired sauce, made of parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes, is added before and after baking. Its freshness brightens up the whole pie. Experiment with what you like; maybe it’s pesto, chili crisp, or plant-based Ranch. [hero]( Finally, remember that you don’t need to be vegan to make plant-based pizza. And you certainly don’t need to be vegan to eat it. When we made this plant-based pizza for our (decidedly not vegan) test kitchen, it was gone before anyone could say “sausage.” Pizza on, Sarah — '00' Pizza Flour — For chewy, crisp crust at home [Get your bag]( — Baking School — Pizzapalooza class in Vermont!
