You may wonder what Vegmezan is. If you click this link and then this one, you will understand that I wanted to come up with a savoury recipe from the vegan goodies wholeheartedly made by NoMoMoo*!
Well, Vegmezan is a cashew parmesan.
I used white spelt (whole spelt is trickier to use for bakes; with white spelt, you’ll get a fluffier dough) because I felt they’d complement each other!
Which were all the ingredients?
Well, I used—
250g white spelt flour
5g yeast
3g sea salt
1 tbsp of olive oil
160ml water
+olive oil
+white spelt flour
+(optional) 4-5 tbsp of tomato juice
+1 large tomato
+1 pc Vegmezan
My method?
Add the first 5 ingredients into a bowl in the specified order. Start kneading. When the dough feels compact and not sticky, let it sit for 1 hour.
Brush olive oil on a pizza baking pan, flour it, and spread the dough.
If you wish, pour homemade tomato juice (with basil) onto the dough; it is optional.
Place the tomato slices onto the pizza dough, then bake for 10 minutes at 220°C.
Sprinkle Vegmezan over the pizza after removing it from the oven.
My Dad was visiting; he was thrilled. He confessed that he didn’t even notice that the pizza was vegan.
*I’ll return in October with new vegan recipes that include other NoMoMoo goodies. Until then, already-tested but unpublished recipes will keep you company, along with the new recipes discovered throughout the detox that we’re undergoing again.
