Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made or homemade ball Pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond or oat)
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Fresh baby spinach
- 1 cup Vegan shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 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 heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Place the rolled dough on parchment paper for easy transferring.
In a medium saucepan, heat the vegan butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted.
Add minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
In a small bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk and cornstarch until smooth. Pour this mixture into the saucepan, stirring continuously.
Add nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking and whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Top the sauce with fresh baby spinach and sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the spinach.
Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
Slice and serve the pizza warm. Enjoy!
