Blondies Pizza (Toronto) - vegan cheese with basil

t3_1i5c5uj

I love Detroit style pizza and want to find the best vegan cheese to use for optimal frico crust (the caramelized exterior of the crust where the cheese makes direct contact with the pan). 

These two pizzas are: Good Planet mozz shreds (top) and Miyoko's block that I shredded myself (bottom). 

In terms of meltability and browning, Good Planet wins this round for sure. (Also cheaper.)

Sourdough crust was fantastic - https://www.theperfectloaf.com/sourdough-detroit-style-pizza-recipe/

Added a bit of diastatic malt powder to the dough as well. Really helps get a brown, crispy and crunchy crust with a pillowy soft interior. 

Sauce was simple Rao's jarred pizza sauce and I also added Field Roast pepperoni.

If anyone else has a favorite vegan cheese that browns really well, let me know! I want to try them all to find the best 👌

My go-to: marinara, add olives (La Pizzeria di Orm Oja, Tallinn, Estonia)

I used Prego pizza sauce, Violife mozzarella, Follow Your Heart parmesan, Field Roast pepperoni, and a pinch of garlic powder. It was delicious!

My son had to stay home from school today, so we made (vg) lunch together

Pickled banana peppers from my garden, sauce w/Calabrian chili, and Miyoko's mozz

This wood pellet fired pizza oven has been an absolute game changer for my pizzas this summer. No traditional oven can make them quite like this will. I got it used on eBay for around $140. It’s best to have 2 people so one can be in charge of fire maintenance and the other looks after pizza assembly. If you have a buddy or family member willing to hang out and figure it out with you, I’d highly recommend. I’ll post some photos of finished pizzas.

Campfire Pizza?!?

I made the dough, sauce and mozzarella from scratch. I've been experimenting with different mozzarella recipes to find one that I like. I didn't like the way this particular cheese melted, although it did taste fine. So on this pie I switched up the layering. Cheese, then sauce, then some tomato, basil, garlic and vegan parmesan. It was delicious!

Homemade Vegan Pizza

Cheese pizza- homemade cashew mozz

Mac n cheese pizza from Ian’s MKE

Two weeks in Europe (Croatia, Austria, Germany). Six vegan pizzas (I forgot to take photos of a couple more). Pizza makes life so good.

Banana, ricotta, hot giardiniera, smokey tofu

cooked in a cast iron in my normal kitchen oven, which goes to 550°. the cheese recipe is a variation of school night vegan’s [mozzarella](https://schoolnightvegan.com/home/vegan-mozzarella-recipe/), tweaked the tiniest bits (added mushroom powder, lactic acid instead of ACV, etc). it came out surprisingly well for store bought dough! next time i’ll make my
own dough and sauce, but i was lazy today lol

Just because you have a mini pizza doesn’t mean you can’t have a normal size slice!

First pic is the finished pie. Second pic shows the onion and apple just out of the oven. I used an OXO slicer to make the onion and apple slices very thin so they'd cook quickly and reduce the amount of juices. The chopped arugula was very lightly tossed with olive oil. The crust recipe is from The Perfect Loaf but I add 2% diastatic malt and this recipe still performs quite well with several days cold fermentation.
