Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch round Whole wheat pizza dough
- 8 oz Vegan ground meat substitute
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Ground flaxseed
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Vegan mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 Red bell pepper
- 0.5 Red onion
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone inside if you have one.
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
In a larger bowl, combine the vegan ground meat substitute, breadcrumbs, flaxseed mixture, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter to form the 'meatballs'.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the vegan meatballs until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch round.
Transfer the dough onto a pizza peel or baking sheet sprinkled with flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly onto the pizza dough, leaving about 1 inch around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Top the pizza with the vegan meatballs, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the toppings.
Carefully transfer the pizza into the preheated oven onto the pizza stone or directly on the oven rack.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
