Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, chopped
- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 flax egg
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 3 tbsp tomato purée
Toppings
- 3 small vine tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 medium red onion, sliced
- 1/4 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
- 2-3 chestnut mushrooms, chopped
- 2 oz tempeh, crumbled
To serve (optional)
- 1/2 medium avocado, mashed
- red onion, chopped
- fresh arugula
- pumpkin seeds
- soy yoghurt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees C/392 F. Add instructions on how to microwave potato.
- Mash the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, the nutritional yeast and the flax egg, combining thoroughly.
- Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Coat your hands with a light dusting of flour and form the 'dough' into patties around 1cm in thickness and 10cm in diameter. Bake in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes, until slightly crispy.
- Stir together the tomato paste and the juice from the canned tomatoes. Remove crusts from the oven, and spread evenly with the resulting mixture.
- Top with the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, frozen peas and sausages. Bake for a further 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked through.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce by simply blending together the avocado, spring onions, green peas and lemon juice.
- Serve the pizzas immediately or leave to cool for as long as desired.
Notes
Make as many or as few pizzas as you want out of the 'dough', but keep in mind that this may affect cooking times.
