    Spicy Chipotle Vegan Pizza

    Mexican Vegan Pizza Recipe Chipotle - Vegan Family Recipes
    Spicy Chipotle Vegan Pizza Recipe - Vegan Family Recipes
    I'm so sick of hearing that vegan pizza is bland, tasteless, and boring. Obviously, those people have never had a vegan pizza before. The vegan pizzas I know are bright, colorful, and exploding with flavor. This spicy chipotle pizza is no different :) I tried my best to make this vegan pizza recipe as colorful and tasty as possible to hopefully convince those vegan pizza haters that we don't just put lettuce on our pizzas.

    I came up with this pizza recipe mainly just because sometimes I go through spicy food cravings. The thing is when I want something spicy, I want it S-P-I-C-Y! This is one pizza you don't want your kids accidentally taking a bite out of ;) Then again, that's the whole point, right? However, if you really want to share this with your kids, then hold off on the chipotle sauce until the very end :)

    I started this pizza off with my usual foolproof whole-wheat pizza crust. However, you can use a storebought pizza crust if you'd like instead.

    Add the tomato sauce and sprinkle with all the veggies.

    Then drizzle with some of the chipotle sauce and bake in the oven for only 10 minutes!

    Ingredients

    !Pizza Dough

    • ½ a cube of Fresh Active Yeast 21g or .75 ounces or 1 Packet Dry Yeast
    • ½ cup Water warm
    • 2 cups 250g Whole Wheat Flour
    • ¾ teaspoon Salt
    • 1 teaspoon Whole Cane Sugar

    !Chipotle Sauce

    • ½ of a cup Coconut Milk
    • 3 Chipotles in Adobo Sauce from a can

    !Tomato Sauce

    • ½ of a cup 125ml Tomato Puree
    • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
    • 1 tablespoon dried basil
    • Salt and crushed Pepper to taste

    !Pizza Toppings

    • 1 small Red Onion sliced
    • ½ of a Red Bell Pepper finely diced
    • ½ of a Green Bell Pepper finely diced
    • ½ of a cup Sweet Corn
    • ½ of a cup Kidney Beans drained and rinsed from a can or soaked and cooked
    • ½ teaspoon Cumin
    • Cilantro optional

    Instructions

    1. Combine Yeast, ½ Cup (125ml) warm Water, and 2 tablespoons of the flour. Let stand for 10 minutes. Mix with a dough hook or knead with your hands while slowly adding salt and the rest of the flour. Knead until the dough is no longer sticking to the side of the bowl. The dough should not be sticking to your hands but still be soft and moist. (See notes if it is not) Cover dough with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 20-40 minutes until it has doubled in size.
    2. Preheat oven to 450F.
    3. Prepare chipotle sauce by pureeing peppers and coconut milk until smooth in a food processor or with an immersion blender.
    4. Make tomato sauce by stirring together all ingredients. Set aside
    5. Take half of the risen dough and ,using a rolling pin, roll each half into a pizza base/crust. Using your thumb and index finger fold small sections of dough over to form a raised crust.
    6. Lay on parchment paper lined sheet pan or pizza stone and cover to let rise for another 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough to make second pizza base.
    7. Assemble pizza by spreading ¼ of a cup tomato sauce on each pizza base, top with vegetables, and drizzle with a bit of chipotle sauce.
    8. Bake in oven for 10 minutes.
    9. Serve hot and drizzle with more chipotle sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.

    Too spicy for you? Leave off the chipotle sauce to make this mild. Otherwise, try out my kid-friendly Coconut-Garlic White Pizza Recipe.

      Nope, not one bit of boringness about it! In fact I think it's probably a heck of a lot more flavorful than any non-vegan pizza because just look at that array of toppings and two sauces! I do have to admit though, I have put lettuce on a pizza, so I'm probably not helping the vegan image :D haha

      This looks so delicious Vanessa! love the beautiful colors and flavors! Who says vegan pizza is boring? I can say that vegetarian and vegan pizzas are in fact better than pizza with bacon n stuff, anyday!

      Are you using canned or boxed coconut milk in this? Sounds like great pizza.
