In many restaurants and pizzerias there is a lean vegetarian pizza on the menu, but it is mostly made with vegetable cheese, and it is not a completely lean product.
Namely, this cheese contains milk proteins and whey, and only milk fats have been replaced with vegetable fats. That’s why it would be best to make a lean vegetarian pizza without vegetable cheese or possibly with the addition of soy cheese.
If you want to make your own lean vegetarian pizza, below we will give you some recipes on how to make a delicious pizza.
Recipe 1
Ingredients for the dough:
400 g of flour
250 ml of water
3 tablespoons of olive oil
20 g of yeast
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
Ingredients for the filling:
1 head of onion
5-6 tablespoons of olive oil
300 g of fresh mushrooms
4 tomatoes
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 hot pepper
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
½ teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
15-20 leaves of fresh basil
Way of preparation:
Dough: First, mix yeast and sugar in warm water. Put the flour, salt and 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a separate bowl, then add the yeast you have prepared and knead the dough. Cover the dough and let it rise, while preparing the filling. It is best to leave the dough in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes.
Phil: First, cut the red onion into rings and fry it in olive oil, then add 2 tomatoes that you previously ground in a blender. Then, add oregano, salt and pepper and let it simmer, and when it thickens, remove it from the stove and let it cool.
Now that you have prepared everything, roll out the dough you made, put it in a baking tray and spread it with the onion and tomato filling, then add the vegetables. Place mushrooms cut into rings, thin rings of tomatoes, rings of green and red pepper and hot pepper that you have cut into rings. Bake the pizza in the oven for about 5-6 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees, then remove it from the oven and add the basil leaves. After that, put the pizza back in the oven for another 5-6 minutes, up to 10 at the most.
