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
*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.
*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).
