    Vegetable Pizza Slice

    One of my childhood food memories is a vegetable pizza made from Crescent Rolls, ranch dressing, and chopped vegetables. In my neighborhood, it was a party staple. When I think back, I wonder if all our moms got together to think of a way to trick us into eating vegetables. But then, of course, a vegetable pizza made with ranch is the perfect way to grab someone's attention. 

    Since transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle, I only miss a few childhood staples, one of which is ranch dressing. So, of course, I figured out how to make Vegan Ranch Dressing as a means to survive. If I was getting the family on my vegan bandwagon, I learned to make foods they loved without compromising nutrition or taste. 

    With that being said, my husband asked me to replicate our childhood vegetable pizza to make it healthy and still enjoy the tasty combination of the ranch, dough, and chopped vegetables. 

    Crescent Rolls aren't in my meal plan. Although Crescent Rolls are vegan, healthy there are not. So, I used my Pizza Dough recipe for this vegetable pizza recipe. 

    Vegetable Pizza Cut

    Pizza dough, though time-consuming, is easy to make oil-free, and if you double the recipe, it also freezes well, which saves time the next time you want to make something with dough. 

    Universal for various recipes, I find the Oil-Free Pizza Dough works for any recipe calling for pastry, pizza, or any dough. It can be flavored or left plain, and once it rises, it's very easy to b use.

    Other recipes using Oil-Free Pizza Dough

    • Pizza of any kind
    • Vegetable Strudel
    • Vegan Mushroom Wellington
    • Pizza Pinwheels
    • BLT  Pizza with Coconut Bacon
    • Pesto Salad Dressing

    What ingredients are needed for the vegetable pizza dough?

    • Warm water 
    • Dry active yeast
    • Raw sugar
    • Whole wheat flour
    • Vital wheat gluten
    • Flaxseed meal
    • Maple syrup
    • Salt

    Helpful tips for preparing vegetable pizza dough

    • Lay a large piece of parchment paper under the dough and roll the dough directly on the parchment paper so the dough easily transfers onto the pan.
    • Since this is a 16 X 24 sheet pan-sized pizza, roll it lengthwise, thin.
    • Use flour on the rolling pin if it sticks.
    • Transfer the rolled-out dough to the baking sheet and lightly pull it into the corners of the pan, forming a 16 X 24-inch rectangle shape.
    • Then, using a sharp knife, poke holes in the dough surface to prevent bubbling.
    • Make the vegan ranch dressing as the dough cooks at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

    • Allow the crust to cool completely before adding the vegan ranch or the topping.

    Vegan Ranch Recipe Category

    Because the Vegan Ranch Dressing needs to be a bit thicker than a dressing for the vegetable pizza, be sure to alter the ranch recipe by reducing the water by ¼ cup water, 

    • Raw cashew pieces  or replace with white beans for a nut-free option
    • Water
    • Rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar (I like rice vinegar).
    • Lemon juice
    • Salt
    • Pepper
    • Garlic powder
    • Onion powder
    • Fresh dill, chopped 
    • Parsley, chopped

    The vegetable pizza toppings...it's all about the toppings.

    vegetable pizza toppings

    • Carrots
    • Yellow Baby Bell Peppers
    • Red Bell Peppers
    • Broccolini
    • Green Onions
    • White Onions
    • Microgreens
    • Purple Cabbage

    Although I chose these colorful vegetables, feel free to pick your favorites. I do, however, avoid using juicy tomatoes to prevent sogginess. If you want to use tomatoes, I suggest choosing Roma tomatoes, containing fewer seeds.

    Building the perfect vegetable pizza

    Vegetable Pizza Recipe

    Begin by spooning the ranch dip over the top of the cooked, cooled crust. Next, spread the sauce evenly but not too thick. 

    Then, sprinkle the toppings evenly over the dressed crust. Next, cut the pizza with a pizza cutter and serve the pizza.

        Hi Leslie, you can just swap out the flour for gluten-free flour and skip the vital wheat gluten. Instead, add more gluten-free flour to replace the vital wheat gluten.
