Ingredients

1 package of Whole Wheat Pizza Dough ( we used Trader Joe's which is vegan - Betty suggests using pre-made

1 Bag of Daiya Vegan Cheese ( Mozzarella )

1/4 cup of Pizza Sauce

2 Tofurky Italian Sausages ( sliced into coins )

1 package of Smart Deli Pepperoni

1/4 of Large Red Onion ( chopped )

1 Can Black Olives ( sliced )

1 Can of Artichoke Hearts ( Halved )

Fresh Basil

Nutritional Yeast

Cornmeal

Preparation

Preheat the oven as per the directions on the Pizza Crust package.

Dust the pizza stone with cornmeal and where you are going to roll out the dough.

Roll dough into a circle ( around 13 inches in diameter ) and then move very carefully to the pizza stone. Create a little pocket/canal along the edge of the pizza. Fill the canal with Daiya Cheese. Be careful to not use more than a 1/3 of the bag and to stay inside the pocket. Seal the cheese in by folding over the outer edge and pressing lightly.

Spread the Pizza Sauce over the dough in the center. Sprinkle Fresh Basil. Spread out a small handful of Daiya cheese. Sprinkle the Sausage coins and Pepperoni. Spread another small handful of Daiya cheese over the fake meat. Sprinkle the Onion, Artichoke Hearts and Olives over the pizza. Spread another small handful of Daiya Cheese.

Follow directions on Pizza Dough to know how long to cook. It should take around 15-20 minutes. Just wait till the crust is golden and cheese is melted.

Sprinkle with a little Nutritional Yeast and repeat after me "Meat Lovers Stuffed Crust Deep Dish Pizza Commercial - YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME!"
