Hi, Jill!
I want to make this pizza for New Year dinner for my family. We’re not big wine drinkers. I don’t want to buy a bottle and throw away the rest. How is important the wine in this recipe? Maybe Incan substitute it with something else?
Thanks! Happy New Year!
You can use veggie broth. Have a great New Year!
This is the best vegan pizza I have ever tasted! My friends and family really enjoyed it! Thank You, Jill!!!
That makes me so happy 😁
What oven temperature for the crust?
350
Thank you. I made it yesterday, and it was really good. My picky, 2 and 4 year olds loved it.
That’s great 🤗
I think your written directions left out the part where you cook just the crust for 10 minutes. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us. I’ve learned so much from you!
Hi Jill,
The pizza looks terrific.
I am unable to eat soy. Do you know of anything to replace the tofu with that I can make some facsimile of tofu pepperoni?
Hey! I make a meat substitute with dehydrated shitakes! Dehydrated shiitakes have a distinctively meat like texture when reconstituted. I have only made it as a ground beef or Italian sausage crumbles substitute but I’m sure you can season with this recipe’s seasoning for the pepperoni flavor (I plan to try!) Just reconstitute your shiitakes and pulse in a food processor until pieces you like. Add your seasoning (If not gluten intolerant, you can add a little vital wheat gluten).
Jill, thank you for this recipe. Easy to cook, even for a novice WFPBD cook. I enjoyed it very much, the cheese sauce was great!
Muchas gracias!
Can you use oatmeal flover instead of almond
coudk we use oat meal, brownflour , gluten free flours instead of almond flour for a nut free option??
Did you end up substituting any of those flours with any success? We need a nut free option as well–what did you do for the cheese?
I haven’t tried any substitutes for this recipe. Sorry
Hi I love all your videos and have learned so much from watching you. Question though, this recipe sounds great but I was confused at first by the title “turkey” pepperoni . I thought it was “tofu” pepperoni.
Apologies, there must have been a glitch, the you tube link brought me at first to a page that said turkey pepperoni.
Hi Jill, I was wandering if I can use reconstituted dried mushrooms?
Yes
Hello, all.
Would tapioca work as a substitution for the potato starch in the crust? It is what I have on hand.
If not, any suggestions?
Thank you! 🙂
Pretty sure it would work almost the same =)
Jill, what does the potato starch do? I have arrowroot powder, will that work?
It helps it stick together more consistently. Arrowroot powder will work.
Hey Jill thanks for this! Will be trying this today ! ♡
Can you use almond flour instead of almond meal?
Yes
Good recipe, my family and I love pizza, I will prepare this recipe for you. Thanks for sharing. Greetings!
Can the dough be frozen and then thawed to use for later?
I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure, sorry
The rating system with the stars is flawed. I often am scrolling on my phone and accidentally touch the rating at a 2 or 3 star, and there is no way to change it! Please fix this because most of her dishes deserve a 5 star!
love your recipes. Made sloppy joes, meatballs, lentil flat bread,
