- Hey guys, the Buddhist Chef here.
Today we're gonna learn
how to make vegan pizza
from scratch.
(mellow music)
Cooking vegan food is so expensive.
Vegan cheese is so expensive.
It's cheap if you cook from scratch.
Let's start with the cheese.
First, cashews, quarter of a cup.
We're gonna soak it for about
15 minutes in boiling water.
To a blender, we're gonna
add one teaspoon lemon juice,
one teaspoon maple syrup, two
tablespoons nutritional yeast,
one tablespoon agar powder,
two tablespoons tapioca starch,
one teaspoon of salt, a third of a cup
deodorized coconut oil,
our soaked cashews,
a cup and a half of water.
Let's blend it.
All right, now we have
to bring it to a boil.
Let's do it.
Let's pour it in the pot.
Let's bring it to a boil,
stirring constantly.
Look at this.
Let's pour it on those little mason jars.
We're gonna refrigerate
it for at least an hour.
(speaking foreign language)
Isn't it amazing how easy it is to make
vegan mozzarella at home from scratch?
Okay, for the pizza dough.
In a bowl, that's an oversized bowl.
In any bowl, we're gonna combine flour.
There are two rules
when working with flour.
First, never wear black.
And second, there's no second rule.
All right, four cups of
flour into the big bowl.
600 grams of all-purpose white flour.
Then we're gonna add one tablespoon sugar,
one envelope of instant dry yeast,
which is one tablespoon.
One teaspoon of salt.
And two cups of warm
water, 500 milliliters.
We're gonna mix it
until it comes together.
Now we're gonna knead it for a few minutes
on a floured surface.
If your dough is too
sticky, just add more flour.
Wet towel.
Boom.
We're gonna let it rise for
maybe an hour in a warm place.
Quick tip here to make it rise faster.
Put it in the oven with
a pot of boiling water.
You're welcome.
Okay, it's been an hour,
let's check it out.
It is amazing.
Take a piece of it.
Look at this.
Some more flour.
Now let's try to shape it like a pizza.
It doesn't have to be perfect.
Some more flour.
Homemade tomato sauce, I put
the recipe in the description.
Let's go check out our cheese.
It is amazing.
Mozzarella.
Put it on our pizza.
Put as much as you like.
It is going to be delicious.
Isn't it amazing?
Now let's put it in a very hot oven
for 10 to 15 minutes.
All right, let's check it out.
Oh my God.
Oh, wow.
Look at this.
Let's add some fresh basil.
Slice it.
Isn't it beautiful?
It's amazing, it is amazing.
Let's taste it.
Oh my God.
Mmmmm.
Hot.
It is so good.
My mouth is so burnt right now
I might not be able to
taste anything for a year.
But it's worth it, because it's delicious.
