Chef Joeys Vegan Pizza Crust Food

CHEF JOEY'S YEAST FREE VEGAN PIZZA PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400'F.
• Put the flours, salt and baking powder into the bowl of a food processor and process until well combined.
• Mix the olive oil and water together and pour through the feeding tub of the food processor.
• Process for a minute or so and then check your dough. It should be somewhat sticky.
• Let it sit in a bowl with a damp cloth over it while you prepare your toppings.
• For my pizza I like to use chopped onions, garlic, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, sweet bell pepper and vegan cheeses.
• Of course this is a personal choice. Just remember not to over load the pizza with toppings and sauce. Moderation is best for even baking.
• Once you are done cutting up toppings put the pizza crust onto an oiled 12" pizza pan and bake it in the preheated 400'F oven for 12-15 minutes.
• In the meantime, cook the onion and pepper for a few minutes, then add the garlic and mushrooms until just done.
• When the pizza crust finishes take it out of the oven then top it with the pizza sauce and cover it with toppings and then the cheese. I use Vegan Jack Cheese and Powdered Vegan Parmesan. You can also add Soy Pepperoni if you wish.
• I put the pizza back into the oven for another 10-15 minutes so the cheese melts and the crust gets a nice light golden colour.
• Bon Apetit!

CHEF JOEY'S VEGAN BOSTON CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350'F.
• Lightly spray an 8 inch round cake tin.
• FOR THE FILLING:.
• Prepare the pudding according to package directions but use less milk as the ingredients state above. The filling should be thicker then if you were just making a pudding.
• FOR THE CAKE:.
• In a mixing bowl sift the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In another bowl cream the potato and margarine together. Add sugar and beat until sugar is fluffy and incorporated into the mixture.
• Add the vanilla and lemon extract and continue beating.
• Slowly add the soy milk and beat until well mixed. Add the flour mixture, 1/3 cup at a time and beat until the batter is smooth.
• Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or a tooth pick comes out clean inserted in the center.
• If done, remove cake from oven and cool on a metal rack for 20 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool for an additional hour on the cooling rack.
• Cut the cake in half. Fill it with the vanilla pudding, put the top back on the cake and glaze.
• FOR THE GLAZE:.
• Combine the melted margarine, cocoa and hot water in a bowl. Blend in the confectioner's sugar and vanilla. When you like the consistency pour or spread over the cake and let it cool for a while so the glaze can set.
• Bon Appetit.

CHEF JOEY'S VEGAN BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350'F.
• Put the margarine in a bowl big enough to accommodate 2 cups of milk.
• Put the sugar, cinnamon and salt into another bowl and mix well.
• Put the milk in a saucepan and heat until just before the boiling point.
• Pour the heated milk into the bowl with the margarine in it. Mix until the margarine is completely melted.
• In a 9x13" oven safe dish add the bread and raisins.
• Mix the egg replacer with water. I use 1 1/2 teaspoons of egg replacer and two tablespoons of warm water. Stir to incorporate.
• Gradually add the egg replacer to the milk mixture.
• Add in the cinnamon, sugar and salt mixture into the milk mixture. Mix this well.
• Pour the milk mixture over the bread and raisins and carefully move the bread around so that ll the pieces are soaked in the milk.
• Put the dish with the prepared bread pudding into a larger dish and put it into the preheated oven.
• Pour the hot water into the outer dish being careful not to get any in the pudding dish.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes.
• The custard should be creamy. Remember you didn't use eggs here so it won't be set exactly the same. As it cools it will firm up a bit.
• Serve either warm or cold, plain or with your favourite sauce.
• Bon Appetit.
