Pineapple & Green Pepper Pizza


Finally, a working oven and some new guests to try my pizza!

We changed up the way we made it a little again. We let the dough rise for 2 hours this time, it seemed to make it fluffier.

We put the oven at 450° and baked the pizza with Follow Your Heart Vegan Gourmet Mozzarella 'cheese' and sauce for 20 minutes. We put the pineapple in the oven separate for 5 minutes to dry it out a little because I was worried about the 'cheese' becoming runny like with the toaster oven pizza. With about 5 minutes to go we added the green peppers and pineapple to half the pizza. At the end it seemed the cheese was still a little sloppy, so we put the pizza back the oven on broil for 5 minutes to cook the 'cheese' a little more. This seemed to work really well, except the pizza was already cooked at this point so it cooked a little more than I would have liked. Next time we are going to try to cook the pizza for 15 minutes on bake, then put it on broil for the last 5 minutes.

I served to the pizza to my guests, Christy & Colin, and not only did they take one slice, but 3 each. Later on I was told Colin said he liked it so much he consider would making the recipe himself. It always makes me happy to hear people like new vegan foods, especially ones I (and my roommate Paul) made.
