Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 14 oz) pre-made pizza dough
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup, thinly sliced red onion
- 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to get hot.
Soak the raw cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes to soften them.
Drain and rinse the cashews, then add them to a blender with 1 cup of water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
Carefully place the rolled dough on a piece of parchment paper for easy transfer.
Brush the dough with olive oil, then spread a generous layer of the cashew cream sauce on top, leaving a small border for the crust.
Evenly distribute the fresh spinach, red onion, and cherry tomatoes on the pizza.
Transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
Slice the pizza and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
