Vegan Pizza Diavola (Plant-Based Sausage)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses Quick Meals
The fiery character of Pizza Diavola can be perfectly realized on a plant basis. The seasoning of modern vegan 'meat products' now rivals traditional ones. The key here is correct handling of vegan cheese: as it melts differently than milk-protein based cheese, a little steam or oil helps it achieve the perfect texture.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Cut the vegan sausage into thin rounds and slice the chilli.

Tip: If the sausage is very dry, toss it in a little oil before baking so it roasts rather than burns.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough and place on the oiled baking tray. Spread with tomato sauce and sprinkle with oregano.

Tip: The acidity of the tomato sauce counteracts the sometimes greasy feel of plant-based cheeses.
3 ✓

Sprinkle the grated vegan cheese evenly. Place the sausage rounds and chilli on top.

Tip: It's worth putting vegan cheese under toppings so the moisture from the sauce helps it melt (steam generation).
4 ✓

Drizzle the top generously with olive oil, especially the cheesy parts.

Tip: Oil aids heat transfer and gives a creamier texture to plant cheese, which otherwise tends to dry out.
5 ✓

Bake for 15-18 minutes until the edge of the dough is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Tip: Check the bottom of the dough too, lift with a knife; if it's stiff and brown, it's done.
6 ✓

Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Tip: Plant cheeses can be very runny when hot, they firm up to the desired consistency while cooling.

Recipe FAQ

Why didn't the vegan cheese melt?
Plant-based cheeses (starch/fat emulsion) sometimes need higher heat or a little moisture. Try spraying with oil before baking.
Where can I get vegan sausage?
Look for spicy/hot versions in the fridge section of larger supermarkets or health food shops.
