A simple and fresh pizza bursting with bright blackberries and dairy-free plant-based cheeses for all healthy lifestyles.
Ingredients
  • 1 box Simple Mills Pizza Dough Mix
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 tbsp water (or ½ cup)
  • ½ block of vegan mozzarella cheese
  • ½ container of dairy-free almond milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 container of blackberries
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves
  • ¼ cup chopped green onion
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350º.
  2. Combine apple cider vinegar, oil and water together; followed by the pizza dough mix. Incorporate well into one large ball of dough and then slice into 2 equal portions.
  3. Lay onto a baking sheet or parchment paper and spread out evenly with fingers.
  4. Bake dough for 5 minutes to allow it to lightly rise.
  5. Cut half of your mozzarella (we used a cashew and coconut oil based one called Miyoko’s Kitchen Fresh VeganMozz) block into tablespoon sized pieces. Place about 3-4 on each pizza crust.
  6. Next, thinly slice your green onion and cut your blackberries in halves. Place on top of the mozzarella, followed by a few basil leaves.
  7. Cook for 15 minutes.
  8. Take your pizzas out and crumble up almond milk ricotta on top for added texture and flavor!
  9. Pop back into the oven for 5-10 minutes for extra crispiness.
  10. Take out, let cool for about 5 minutes and enjoy!
  11. *Makes 2 pizzas with 12 small slices or 8 regular sized slices*
