Everyone's favorite, which offers a lot of versatility for exploring different flavor combinations. This form focuses on a fairly classic version, but there are numerous other combinations of sauces and toppings to explore. This classic earns a 4/5.
Ingredients:
Naan bread or other store-bought flatbread
1 can of marinara sauce
1 pepper
1 onion
sliced olives
shredded mozzarella
Protein Options: ½ cup of hemp seeds in the sauce + vegan pepperoni, pepperoni
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove stem ends, seeds, and membranes from the pepper. Cut lengthwise strips and then cut the strips in half.
Cut the onion in half, leaving both ends intact, and then peel the outer layer of the onion. Cut the onion directly in half through the ends. Proceed to cut strips off the onion, creating long strings.
Optional (adds plant-based protein): Combine ½ cup of hemp seeds and the jar of marinara sauce in a food processor and blend until fully combined.
Cut the flatbread to fit the tray you will use for cooking. Then pour and spread an even layer of marinara sauce on the flatbread and sprinkle some oregano or other desired spices/herbs before applying the other ingredients.
Sprinkle a base layer of cheese, about one handful worth, evenly across the pizza. Spread the toppings evenly across the pizza, including pepperoni, onion, peppers, and olives. Finally, top the pizza off with another handful of cheese spread evenly across the pizza, securing the toppings to the pizza when it melts.
