Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black salt (Kala Namak)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper, freshly ground
- 4 slices Vegan bacon, chopped
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 6 Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to heat.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Whisk together the almond milk, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, turmeric powder, black salt, regular salt, and pepper in a bowl until fully combined.
Add the almond milk mixture to the saucepan with the garlic, and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and cook the vegan bacon until crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Spread the carbonara sauce evenly over the prepared pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Distribute the cooked vegan bacon and thinly sliced red onion evenly over the sauce.
Transfer the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle chopped parsley over the top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free pizza carbonara!
