Vegan Pepperoni Pizza (Plant-Based Sausage)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses Quick Meals
Pepperoni pizza is an icon of American pizza culture. The challenge of the vegan version is imitating the characteristic papery, greasy fry of pepperoni. Plant-based salamis are now capable of that certain 'crispy cup' effect if given the right heat treatment.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Gluten
⚠️ Soya (dependent on topping)

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Slice the vegan pepperoni paper-thin.

Tip: Thin slicing is key so the edges brown (dry out) in the oven.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough into a circle and place on the baking tray. Spread with tomato sauce, sprinkle with oregano.

Tip: Always spread sauce circularly from the centre outwards for evenness.
3 ✓

Sprinkle with vegan cheese, then lay out the pepperoni slices densely.

Tip: The slices will shrink during baking, so you can pack them closer.
4 ✓

Drizzle with a little oil, then bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: Oil helps kickstart the 'Maillard reaction' (browning) on plant proteins too.
5 ✓

After baking, sprinkle with fresh, torn basil leaves.

Tip: Basil's heat-sensitive essential oils shine best this way; if baked, it turns black.
