Recipes & Class Videos
Class 1: Mediterranean Hummus Pizza
Branching off from a typical pizza, beans dips make a perfect pizza base! They add protein to the meal, and are amazingly flavorful if you’ve made a fantastic dip yourself. We’ll go over how to top your pizza and include things that give that salty-savory tang we love in pizza. |
Class 2: Pesto Pizza
Just a warning before we make a pesto-based pizza: you may get addicted. We’re going to go over techniques to make sure your vegetables cook perfectly on top of your pizza, and stay moist and juicy without the dense cover of cheese. |
Class 3: Marinara Pizza
Marinara is the classic pizza, and if you have it in Italy it actually comes without cheese! You can use your amazing skills at making homemade tomato sauce from the last module to work, and add some toppings to make an irresistible pizza. |
Assignment
Pizza allows a lot of room for creativity, and I want to see your best inventions this month! Think of your favorite pizza toppings – do you like Hawaiian? BBQ? Take that idea and make it in a healthy way using seasonings and creative toppings to create the same flavors. You could season eggplant like bacon, use grilled tempeh, whatever you want!
Then snap a shot and submit it to the Facebook group! You can also submit any of the pizzas you made this month – I’d love to see what you’re up to!
