Two ways to take your pizza to the next level by having the best of both worlds: cheesy and plant-based.
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6-8 tbsp water
  • 1 box Simple Mills Pizza Dough Mix
  • ½-1 additional tbsp olive oil, for greasing baking sheet
  • ¾ cup organic marinara (I prefer Engine2 diet)
  • ¼ cup shaved parmesan
  • 3-5 tomato slices
  • 1 cup mixed greens, spinach or arugula
  • ⅓ cup Heidi Ho Organics vegan cheese (or cashew cheese alternative)
  • 1 cup roasted butternut squash
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350ยบ.
  2. Begin by combining apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil and water in a large bowl. Mix together and then add in the Simple Mills pizza dough mix. Blend well.
  3. Divide dough into two halves on a greased (with about ½-1 tbsp olive oil) baking sheet and spread out gently with hands into 2 separate crusts. If you grease your hands a little it will be easier to maneuver. Crust will not rise like normal so make the edges like crust if you wish by pinching dough!
  4. Place in oven for 5 minutes to cook up a bit. Take out and top!
  5. For plant-based pizza: Add cashew cheese/Heidi Ho sauce, followed by ½ of greens and butternut squash. Top with nutritional yeast.
  6. For cheesy pizza: Add marinara sauce, followed by other ½ of greens, and tomato slices.
  7. Put pizzas back in oven with toppings. Bake for additional 15-20 minutes until toppings are cooked through.
