Pizza

Here's my simple recipe for pizza;

Lots of vegans are saying thank God for Daiya Cheese. It's the nearest thing to real cheese. If you live in Toronto you can get it from Panacea but, call first as it sells so quickly they often run out.

Base;

100 grams of spelt flour

1 tablespoon of oil

3/4 teaspoon of baking powder

a pinch of salt

tepid water

Topping;

1 can of pizza sauce (213 ml)

75-100 grams of Daiya Italian Blend Shred Cheese

Whatever else you like. I often use green onions and black olives. This time I used red and yellow peppers.

For the base mix the flour, oil, baking powder and salt together. Add the water slowly until you get a dough. Knead it briefly and roll out the base.

Put the pizza sauce on, then the cheese, then the topping.

Bake @ 375 f for approximately 40 minutes.

Recommended Cook Books

I purchased "Get it Ripe" by Jae Steele last summer and I recommend it.
I also like to bake and have had to adapt recipes for my husband and myself. I've only just purchased "Sweet Freedom" by Ricki Heller and
"The Joy of Vegan Baking" by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. Sweet Freedom has sugar free recipes and uses maple syrup and agave nectar instead. So I'm gonna have some fun!

Scrambled Tofu with Salsa

1 packet of firm tofu mashed with a potato masher
I chopped onion
Salsa

Fry the chopped onion until lightly browned. Add the tofu until it's lightly browned and crispy. Add the salsa and heat until it's warm.
I served mine with rice. I've also had it on toast. I use mild or medium salsa but you can used hot if you like it more spicy.
