Creamy Pizza Sauce And Topping Food

CREAMY PIZZA SAUCE AND TOPPING

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth - make sure there are no tofu bits visible.
• Spread the mixture on a 16" (approx) pizza crust of your choice. Whole grain crust is healthiest.
• Top with your favorite toppings such as mushrooms, black olives, chopped artichoke hearts, baby spinach, etc.
• If you wish you can sprinkle a little parmesan or other grated cheese on top as well.
• Bake like regular pizza - I use a 400 degree oven until hot in center, about 12 minute.
• Notes: Silken tofu is the kind that comes in the aseptic shelf-stable boxes. As a variation, you can use chopped frozen spinach that is thawed and squeezed dry in place of basil.

PIZZA TOPPING IDEAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500°F and set a large baking sheet aside.
• Prepare a batch of pizza dough according to this recipe, and prepare your desired pizza toppings.
• Assemble the pizza with sauce (or cashew cream for a white pizza), desired toppings, cheese, and bake 10 to 13 minutes, or until the crust is browned. Top with desired extras like fresh basil, pickled onions, a sprinkle of za'atar, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and serve.

WHITE PIZZA SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the flour, stirring with a fork until the mixture is thick and pasty.
• Turn up the heat to medium-low and then slowly add in the milk, whisking it all together and stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
• Add the Italian seasoning (or basil and oregano), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow your sauce to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it has thickened.
• Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese has melted and is well incorporated. Your white sauce will thicken further as it cools, so add a bit more milk if needed and, conversely, don't worry if it seems too thin while on the stovetop over the heat.
• Use to top your favorite pizza crust or pasta.
