My husband and I use a lot of soy products for health related reasons.. I
just made the following pizza using Yves Veggie Cuisine ( non gmo soy
protein ) brand "pepperoni" which was the first time I ever tried soy
pepperoni. . The dough recipe is mine but the soy pepperoni made the pizza
taste especially wonderful. My husband insisted I share this!
Joan's Soy Pepperoni Pizza
Dough:
1 cup all purpose flour
2 cups bread flour +
1/2 cup stone ground white cornmeal
1 cup warm water +
2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp active dry yeast
Sauce:
8 oz your favorite kind, homemade or basic canned ( to any which I add a
bit of wine, 1 tsp sugar )
Topping:
1 Pkg. soy pepperoni slices ( 4.2 oz )
1 small can anchovies ( strictly optional but I do love it ) drained
Grated cheese as desired ( you can use the real stuff or low fat )
pizza seasoning, garlic powder, etc.
I make all kinds of pizza doughs. This particular dough has a crunchy
outside and softer breadier inside. The white cornmeal adds a nice
texture.
You can make the dough in bread machine using the dough cycle ( adding
either water or flour if needed to get to the correct machine consistency-
or to make by hand: also adding adequate flour or water for a nice
pliable
dough consistency to which you would knead, let rise double and punch down
and use ( or refrigerate in a plastic bag till later ). etc.
Roll dough into a large circle ( so to either fit a 12 to 14 inch pizza pan
or oven stone ). I do bake this on a 13 inch round pizza oven stone. I tuck
the edges over ( not under ) into the dough for a rustic border. I then
place on the sauce evenly. Then I sprinkle with pizza spices and garlic.
Lastly I add the pepperoni, grated cheese and anchovies. There is no set
rule how you can organize your pizza. This is then placed in a middle oven
shelf of a preheated 450F oven and takes 25 to 30 minutes under the dough
is golden and ingredients browned. This simply slides off my well
conditioned stone ( for new stones you may want to sprinkle with a bit of
cornmeal before placing on the dough ). I wait about 5 minutes before
slicing the pizza. I slice it into 8 pieces
Hope you enjoy this!
regards,
Joan
