VEGAN PIZZA WITH APPLE, BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS
This satisfying cold-weather pizza from Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan cookbook author, makes a great main course, or it can be cut into pieces as an appetizer. The creamy white bean purée made by whizzing cannellini beans, oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper in a food processor makes this dish seem like a real treat, and the piles of caramelized onions, roasted butternut squash, apple and spinach finish it off beautifully. If you're a half-hearted vegan, consider sprinkling a handful of blue cheese over the top a few minutes before it's done baking. We won't tell.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the garlic white bean purée by blending the beans, oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper in a food processor. Add water, as needed, until a smooth consistency forms. Set aside. Can be made two days in advance.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat and sauté onions until soft and lightly caramelized, about 15 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- While the onions are cooking, toss remaining 2 tablespoons oil with squash and season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large-rimmed baking sheet and roast for 30 to 35 minutes until squash is fork-tender, turning once or twice with a spatula. Remove from oven and set aside. Turn heat up to 450 degrees.
- Prepare pizza. Brush a large-rimmed baking sheet (approximately 9 by 13 inches) with oil. Stretch homemade or store-bought pizza dough into a rectangle and fit it into the prepared baking sheet (You can also use a 14-inch or 16-inch round pizza pan if you have one). Spread a layer of the garlic white bean purée evenly over the rolled-out dough. (You may not want to use all of it.) On top of the dough, arrange the spinach, caramelized onions, roasted butternut squash and apple slices. Season with salt and pepper, and brush the edges of the crust with olive oil.
- Bake at 450 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes, rotating midway, until the crust is slightly browned or golden. Let cool, slice and serve.

VEGAN MARGHERITA PIZZA
Making a homemade cashew 'mozzarella' is pretty easy to do and you can keep extra in the freezer for future pizza making! I like to use an uncooked tomato sauce and a no-knead dough to simplify things.

Steps:
- For the mozzarella:.
- Soak the cashews in water overnight or place in a pot of boiling water and boil on the stove for 15 minutes to soften. Drain.
- Add the soaked cashews to the jug of a high speed blender along with the rest of the mozzarella ingredients. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour into a medium pot and place on the stove over a medium-low heat. Cook until thickened, about 5-10 minutes, then pour into a bowl and set aside - this will thicken as it cools.
- For the pizza dough:.
- Mix the water and yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast then pour in the flour and salt. Stir to get a shaggy dough. Pour a bit of oil into the bowl then lift up the dough and turn it over to coat it completely in oil. Cover with a damp towel and leave somewhere warm for 2-3 hours until doubled in volume.
- For the tomato sauce:.
- In a bowl, combine the tomato sauce ingredients. Stir together and set aside.
- To make the pizzas:.
- Split the dough into quarters and roll into balls - set aside for 30 minutes to rest, this will make the dough easier to work with.
- Lightly flour a countertop and place a ball of dough onto it. Dust with more flour. Use your hands to pat the dough down and then roll out into a large circle about 1/4-inch thick. You can use your hands to help gently stretch the dough until it's thin enough. Transfer the circle of dough to a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes until golden. Repeat with the rest of the dough so all your bases are baked.
- Spread a few tablespoons of tomato sauce onto each pizza base. Top with dollops of the 'mozzarella' and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle on some salt and black pepper then place each pizza back into the oven, one at a time, for 5-10 minutes until the crust is golden and the 'cheese' is starting to brown. Top with fresh basil and serve immediately.

Time 30m

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush a large cookie sheet lightly with olive oil or prepare a pizza stone. Roll or pull the dough into an approximately 14-inch diameter circle. Brush entire crust with olive oil.
- Place 1 cup corn, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, coconut milk, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pepper in the pitcher of a blender or in a food processor fitted with the S-blade. Blend until nearly smooth but with a bit of remaining texture from the corn.
- Pour sauce on pizza dough and spread in an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Layer on the onions, then the tomatoes, and then sprinkle on the remaining corn. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are bubbly, 8-12 minutes. Remove from oven and top with basil and a couple of pinches of kosher salt, if desired. Slice and serve.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality vegan cheese that melts well. This will make all the difference in the final flavor and texture of your pizza.
- To make your own vegan cheese, you can use a variety of plant-based milks, nuts, and nutritional yeast. There are many recipes available online.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Vegetables, fruits, and plant-based proteins all make great pizza toppings.
- If you're using a store-bought pizza crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
- Bake your pizza at a high temperature to get a crispy crust. A pizza stone or baking steel can help you achieve a nice crust.
- Let your pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the cheese set and prevent it from becoming runny.
Conclusion:
Vegan pizza is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all dietary preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a vegan pizza that is just as good as, if not better than, a traditional pizza. So next time you're craving pizza, give this vegan recipe a try.
