Servings: 8 slices
Calories: 505kcal
Ingredients
For the dough
- 3 ½ - 4 cups flour (we prefer bread, can use all-purpose or whole wheat - see post for details)
- ¼ cup vegan cane sugar (can sub for maple syrup)
- 1 package instant yeast (1 package is 2 ¼ teaspoon yeast)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups water
Leftover Vegan Mac and Cheese (See notes)
- 2-3 cups leftover vegan mac and cheese*
- ¼ cup leftover vegan mac and cheese sauce*
- ¼ cup vegan parmesan (we like Violife or you can make our homemade vegan Parmesan)
- ½ fresh jalapeno, sliced thin
Instructions
- *This recipe is a leftover idea. However, if you do not have our leftover vegan mac and cheese, then you can make a fresh batch of our vegan mac and cheese and proceed once it's made.
For the Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
- Then, add in the water.
- Using a spatula, fold until mostly combined. Sprinkle a little more flour if needed to not be sticky and form a ball.
- Once ball is formed, add it back into the bowl.
- Cover with a towel and let sit for 45-60 minutes in a warm, draft free place, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 550 degrees.
Assembling the pizza
- *This dough can make 2 thin crusts or 1 thicker crust. If making 2 thinner crusts, then you will need to double the amount of sauce, mac and cheese and jalapenos above or use the second crust for a different type of pizza.
- When ready, leaving about a half inch all around for a crust, add a thin layer of the leftover vegan mac and cheese sauce to the inside.
- Sprinkle the vegan parmesan cheese.
- Evenly spread out the leftover vegan mac and cheese and jalapeno slices.
- Cook for 7-12 minutes depending on crust thickness or until golden brown crust. *Carefully watch because it cooks quickly at this temperature.
Notes
*This recipe is using leftover mac and cheese and our mac and cheese sauce. If you don't have leftovers, you can make a fresh batch following our vegan mac and cheese recipe (there will be leftover sauce when making the mac and cheese, that is where the sauce for the pizza comes from).
