Vegan Pepperoni Pizza - Thin base

-

Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 8th of May 2023

Up until now, I have never been a great fan of thin pizza bases.  However, this one is just so easy and tastes great! It needs few ingredients and no special expertise.

Notes

  • I used Applewood vegan cheese, but you can use any vegan cheese you like.  I was, however, very impressed with how the applewood cheese alternative melted.
  • Furthermore, I used Wicked Kitchen pepper-no-roni slices, but you can use any vegan pepperoni.
     

Makes 2 × 25 cm/10 inch pizzas 

Time – 30 minutes.

 

Ingredients for the base

  • 350 g plain flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 172 ml water 

For tomato sauce

  • Tomato x 1
  • Tomato paste x 2 tbsp
  • Tomato pesto x 2 tsp
  • Tomato chutney x 1 tbsp
  • Garlic cloves x 3
  • Mixed Italian herbs x 1 tsp

For toppings 

  • Applewood vegan cheese x enough to lightly cover the tomato sauce
  • Vegan pepperoni a few slices you decide!
  • Onion x a few thin slices
  • Bell pepper x a few thin slices
  • Mushroom x 1
 

Method

  • Heat the oven to 180C fan.
  • Mix together flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl
  • Add 1 tbsp oil and the water and stir until it comes together.  If to dry, add more water.  You are looking for something that is soft.  If it is sticky, add a little more flour. 
  • Knead on a surface for 3-4 mins.  Roll into 2 balls, then flatten them with your hand and roll out to about 25 cm in diameter.  
  • Add the toppings and bake at 180 C for 15 minutes on the low middle shelf.
Roll out to about 25 cm/10 inches in diameter.

Add the tomato sauce.

Add the toppings.

Results 

This turned out better than I expected. It was juice and delicious!  Wicked Kitchen did a great job of the vegan pepperoni.

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Updated 24th of March 2024 Yorkshire puddings are a tasty part of Sunday dinner in the UK not to mention Christmas and Easter.  With this in mind, a vegan alternative is required to satisfy the patriots dinner plate.  I looked for a long time and tried many different recipes, but in the end I had to alter the best basic vegan recipe to make it perfect.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

The Price of Ignorance

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
