Crazy Vegan Garlic Cheesy Bread
Super garlicky white "cheese" sauce tops pizza dough, then layered with garlic and herbs, and vegan mozzarella. Folded over, then topped with more "cheese".
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 16 oz. Pizza dough, I used Trader Joe's
- 2 Tbsp. Vegan butter, I used Earth Balance
- 5 Cloves Garlic, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. All purpose flour
- 1 C. Almond milk, or other non dairy milk
- 1 Tbsp. Nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1/4 tsp. Black pepper
- 1 tsp. Garlic powder
- 1 tsp. Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. Basil, dried
- 1/2 tsp. Oregano, dried
- 1 C. Vegan Mozzarella, I used Parmela's
- Oil to brush on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Then make a garlic cheese sauce. Heat the vegan butter in a deep skillet or small pot on medium. Add the chopped garlic and saute for about a minute or so.
- Then whisk in the flour, until it is fully combined with the vegan butter and forms a paste or roux.
- Now whisk in the almond milk, making sure all of the roux is whisked into the milk. Then add the nutritional yeast, salt and pepper. Simmer for a minute until the "cheese" sauce thickens. Taste and adjust seasonings, then remove from heat.
- Next, spray a half sheet pan with non stick spray, then press the pizza dough into the sheet pan. Evenly in a rectangle. Then, spread the garlicky cheese sauce over the entire pizza dough.
- Then sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, basil and oregano on top of that.
- Then sprinkle with about 3/4 cup of the vegan mozzarella.
- Now, fold one side of the dough towards the middle, then fold the other side of the dough towards the middle, leaving a little gap in the middle(see above).
- Brush the top of the bread with a bit of olive oil, then sprinkle remaining vegan cheese on top. Then bake at 400 for about 15-20 minutes or until the bread is nice and brown, bubbly and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with marinara, balsamic and olive oil or whatever your heart desires.
