How Can You Make a Delicious Vegan Pizza at Home?

Making vegan pizza at home is a lot easier than you perhaps think. Much of what is used for a non-plant-based version will already be vegan such as the bread base, sauces and vegetable toppings. All you need are some simple vegan swaps for the rest. Let The Vegan Kind guide through the entire process step by step!

For the base you’ll need to consider if you’d prefer wholemeal or plain, thick or thin, or perhaps even gluten-free. All that’s left to do is load it with your preferred toppings, slam in a preheated very warm oven for the required time and you’re good to go!

Olive oil and pizza were born for each other! Whether you like to sprinkle some on the base for a softer dough before cooking in the oven or drizzle a little on top for taste once it comes out, it’s completely up to you! Perhaps you can experiment with other oils such as sesame, avocado and sunflower to discover your preferred method and taste?

How about a veggie vegan pizza? Boil ‘em, bake ‘em, slice ‘n dice ‘em - so many vegetables taste incredible on plant-based pizzas. Our top recommendations are aubergine, fresh tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, olives, and sweet corn. As for the controversial pineapple on pizza… some say nothing sweet belongs on pizza, a criminal offence even, but we have to admit - it’s a winner with us. 😋
