So – I made this pizza the other night for the fam. \u00a0It ROCKED!!! \u00a0 I used to love barbecue chicken pizza – so I veganized it. \u00a0I made barbecue tempeh with LOTS of carmelized red onions on a homemade pizza crust – topped with vegan cheese. \u00a0I found that if I use Follow Your Heart cheese and shred it on smallest section of the grater – it will melt. \u00a0 This was so freaking good…..will get the recipe together and put it on the site.<\/p>\n
Ok – not very good at this blogging stuff yet – so just adding the recipe to this post. \u00a0Patrick will have to do the “official” post to the site later. \u00a0I apologize now for any typos….:)<\/p>\n
Enriched Pizza Dough:<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 tsp active dry yeast<\/p>\n
3\/4 Cup warm water<\/p>\n
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup soy flour \u00a0( I didn’t have any so I used Rice flour)<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 T ground sesame seeds<\/p>\n
1 tsp salt<\/p>\n
Pinch of sugar or natural sweetener<\/p>\n
1 T olive oil plus more for spreading<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0place the yeast in a small bowl. \u00a0Add 1\/4 cup of the water and stir to dissolve. \u00a0Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
2. \u00a0To make the dough in a food processor, combine the flours, sesame seeds, salt and sugar pulsing to blend. \u00a0With the machine running, add the yeast mixture through the feed tube, along with the olive oil and as much of the remaining 1\/2 cup water as necessary to make the dough hold together.<\/p>\n
To make the dough by hand, combine the flours, sesame seeds, salt and suger in a large bowl. \u00a0Stir in the yeast mixture, olive oil, and remaining 1\/2 cup water until combined.<\/p>\n
3. \u00a0Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes. \u00a0Transfer to a large oiled bowl. \u00a0Spread a small a small amount of oil on top of the dough, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk. \u00a0About 1 hour.<\/p>\n
4. \u00a0Use immediately or store for up to 8 hours in the refrigerator or for 3-4 weeks in the freezer. \u00a0Make sure it is tightly wrapped in plastic.<\/p>\n
So \u00a0now for the tempeh. \u00a0If you are used to it – you know that you must steam or poach the tempeh first – for about 20 minutes. \u00a0 If you poach – you must drain\/dry off the tempeh…OK – so now on with this recipe \u00a0I made it up – so this is a little loosey goosey. \u00a0Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.<\/p>\n
2 8 ounce packages tempeh steamed and cut into 1\/2 inch x 1 inch pieces<\/p>\n
LOTS of purple onion…I used 1 giant – and I mean GIANT onion cut into whatever shape makes you happy \u00a0:).<\/p>\n
olive oil for pan frying<\/p>\n
barbecue sauce – whatever you like – just as long as it is vegan – and you will need about 2 cups of it<\/p>\n
in a large skillet\/saute pan – \u00a0pan fry your tempeh in olive oil in batches so that you can brown each side. \u00a0Start with 2 T of olive oil – and add more if you need. \u00a0Set aside.<\/p>\n
In the same pan, saute your onions until soft. \u00a0Add the tempeh to the onions and then pour barbecue sauce over mixture. \u00a0Gently stir making sure that everything is coated. \u00a0Reduce to a low heat and simmer for about 15 -20 mintues – making sure the tempeh has soaked up the sauce..<\/p>\n
WHEW – OK – while the tempeh is simmering slowly – soaking up the goodness….go get the pizza dough. \u00a0Punch it down then roll it out on a lightly floured surface. \u00a0It makes a pizza approx 12 in round. \u00a0(you decide the thickness) \u00a0Gently place on a pizza pan and bake on the lowest rack in your preheated 450 degree oven for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Once pizza crust is ready – I spread the barbecue tempeh and onion fabulousness over the pizza crust – and then grated Follow Your Heart cheese over the top. \u00a0I used both the mozzerella and cheddar styles. \u00a0 Bake in the 450 oven for approx 10 minutes. \u00a0Watch it carefully to check the cheese. \u00a0I think I baked this for more like 20 minutes – but cook to your hearts desire. \u00a0ENJOY!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
