Raw Vegan Pesto Pizza

Raw Vegan Pesto Pizza
Serves 2-4
Raw Vegan Pizza Crust
¾ cup sunflower seeds, soaked 2 hours and rinsed
¾ cup zucchini, peeled
½ small tomato, chopped
1/3 cup flax seeds, ground
1 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
Parsley Pesto Sauce
1 cup Parsley
½ cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon salt
For the Pizza:
½ cup pesto sauce (see recipe)
Vegan cheese
2 tomatoes, fresh and thinly sliced
2 radishes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh basil, julienned
First, let’s make the basics.
For the raw vegan pizza crust, add the sunflower seeds, zucchini and tomato to a food processor. Purée until fairly smooth (at least no large chunks) and transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the ground flax, olive oil, basil, and salt. Mix well. On a non-stick teflex dehydrator sheet (or other non-stick sheet), spread the mixture into ¼-inch thickness, either into circles about 6 to 8 inches in diameter, or spread out into a full sheet. Dehydrate at 110°F for 5 hours. Flip the crusts and remove the non-stick sheets. Dehydrate for another hour. Store in an airtight container in your refrigerator until ready to use.
For the pesto sauce, add the parsley, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and salt to a food processor. Purée until fairly smooth. Store in an airtight container in your refrigerator until ready to use.
Now let’s make pizza!
Spread some of the pesto onto a pizza base. Top with thin slices of tomato as a base. Thinly slice 1 zucchini and about 4 radishes and arrange on the pesto. Top with some olives and chopped basil. Serve immediately.
Notes: If you don’t have a dehydrator, use your oven set at 250°F or below, and crack the door open to allow moisture to escape. Place your pizza shells on parchment-lined sheet pans and cook for about 2 hours, checking every 30 minutes to make sure they are cooking to your desired doneness. Flip them halfway through the drying time. I don’t like them to be too dried out. They should still be somewhat flexible like a traditional pizza crust.

Rachel, I have been making a few of your recipes since the days of cooking classes in Sun Cafe. It was like what... 8-9 years ago?!😊 Your pizza was the BEST on their menu. Oh oh, and the rocky road cake too!! Thank you for this video.

[@PlantCraft]

Thanks!

[@sylviadelgadillo8891]

Thank You for making your videos short, simple and budget friendly!!! GREAT Job!!!

[@PlantCraft]

I appreciate that!

[@enjoy_life1109]

This looks very delicious. Great alternative to bake it at 200 for those who don’t have a dehydrator. People could also heat oven and turn it off if they want to get the temp a bit lower. I will for sure make it!

[@radicalveg00]

It looks so delicious. If I lived in LA, I would beseech you to make this commercially, so that I might purchase it and enjoy it for real.

[@PlantCraft]

thanks, Fred!

[@OanaAlexandra]

I love this recipe 🥰

[@PlantCraft]

Thank you 😋

[@oneconsc3333]

Why wouldn’t you use basil and pine nuts? They are perfect ingredients ?

[@SolarTTauri]

Terrific!

[@PlantCraft]

Thanks!

Woooooow it looks delsiuos ❤❤❤

[@PlantCraft]

Thank you!

[@doritad3637]

This is the first raw vegan pizza crust that looks that it doesn’t bend but it’s more crispy, I can’t wait to try it 😋😋 what could I replace the sunflower seeds with?

[@PlantCraft]

pumpkin seeds are delicious in this

[@printmeacoupon7974]

Looks yummy:-)

[@felicitytoad]

it is not RAW if it is baked ypu must dehydrate it in your dehydrater or leave in the sun for the day to go crispy

[@qilorarv1238]

You baked it, which means it's not raw!

[@verdaderevelada1844]

It is not raw anymore because he dehydrated it at 200, it needed to be at 118

[@OfficialJayeLeigh]

Its not raw if its baked at over 118°F, I'm a bit confused by it

[@emilyuk3570]

Where can I find your easy cheese recepir

[@kristapsl9]

Looks yummy! I think I will try to make this one! But you bake the base on 200 c so it is not raw! It is just vegan pizza not raw vegan pizza. It is misleading for those people who are raw vegans, please change article of video, thanx for understunding!

[@PlantCraft]

Hi thanks for your comment. I explain in the video that is a substitute for people who don’t have a dehydrator, and that it’s not completely raw. I think raw vegans will choose the dehydrator option.

[@kristapsl9]

@@PlantCraft That is nice! Much love... 😉

[@chloethenewone9128]

200F is not considered as raw vegan, and I'm wondering if you made a mistake with your temperature or you don't know what temp. should be used for raw vegan dishes.

[@PlantCraft]

Not everyone has a dehydrator so I show an option using your oven so people can get started with these kinds of recipes so they can decide if they want to invest in one that can dehydrate things at 118F.

[@Vunderbread]

@@PlantCraft Do you think this would come out as good if using a dehydrator? 200F is probably not hot enough to genuinely “cook” it, so a couple hours at 118F might achieve similar results I think.

[@DNGMaestro]

Bake ? That's not raw my friend.

[@PlantCraft]

I give directions for an oven for beginners who don’t have dehydrators, or for people who can’t afford one yet. The most common question I get when teaching a raw dehydrated recipe is “how do I make this without a dehydrator?” so I just show both now. If you are raw and have a dehydrator you can follow the instructions for that piece of equipment that are in the video description and the video itself. Thanks!

[@DNGMaestro]

@@PlantCraft cool! Didn’t see the detailed description. Thanks
