Ingredients
- Pizza dough: Use store-bought vegan dough or make your own with flour, yeast, water, olive oil, and salt.
- Tomato sauce: Classic marinara, smoky chipotle tomato sauce, or roasted garlic tomato base.
- Vegan cheese: Shredded mozzarella-style, cashew cheese, or nutritional yeast-based cheese sauce.
- Vegetables: Bell peppers, mushrooms, red onions, spinach, artichoke hearts, olives, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and jalapeños.
- Plant-based proteins: Marinated tofu cubes, BBQ jackfruit, tempeh crumbles, or vegan sausage slices.
- Fresh herbs: Basil, oregano, thyme, parsley.
- Olive oil for brushing crust.
- Seasonings: Garlic powder, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Equipment
- Betty Crocker 12″ Pizza Maker
- Mixing bowls
- Rolling pin (if making dough from scratch)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Pizza cutter or sharp knife
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Baking sheet or parchment paper (optional for prep)
- Small saucepan (for warming sauces or melting cheese)
Instructions
- Prepare your dough: If using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature. Roll out or stretch the dough to fit the 12″ pizza maker base.
- Preheat the Betty Crocker Pizza Maker: Plug in and allow it to warm for 3-5 minutes until the indicator light signals it’s ready.
- Assemble your pizza: Spread a thin layer of your chosen tomato sauce evenly over the rolled dough.
- Add vegan cheese: Sprinkle shredded vegan cheese or dollop cashew cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Top with veggies and proteins: Arrange your favorite toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, tofu, or jackfruit in a single layer.
- Season: Lightly sprinkle your herbs, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes to add depth and flavor.
- Cook the pizza: Carefully place the assembled pizza onto the pizza maker base. Close the lid and cook for 8-12 minutes, checking after 8 minutes to avoid burning.
- Check crust and cheese: Once the crust is golden and vegan cheese has melted, use a spatula to carefully remove the pizza.
- Let it cool: Allow your pizza to rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing to let the cheese set slightly.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice your pizza and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces or a fresh side salad.
Tips & Variations
“For a crispy crust, lightly brush the dough edges with olive oil before adding toppings. Experiment with different vegan cheeses to find your favorite melt and flavor.”
Try swapping tomato sauce with a white garlic cashew sauce for a creamy twist. You can also add nutritional yeast to the dough for extra flavor.
For protein-rich options, BBQ jackfruit or tempeh marinated in soy sauce and maple syrup add a smoky-sweet punch.
Love spicy? Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce after cooking.
For a Mediterranean vibe, use artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil. Don’t forget to check out the Classico Sun Dried Tomato Alfredo Sauce Recipe for a vegan-friendly sauce alternative.
