Perfect Vegan Pizza

I used to watch a lot of vegan YouTubers. Now I can count on one hand the number that I watch. So many vegan YouTubers get on my last nerve for many reasons. But the biggest reason I stopped watching so many is that I find them completely unrelatable. They seem to have these perfect lives, eating the perfect vegan diet with all organic food and it's just too much. And I'm very wary of people who make claims about how vegans never get sick, or the vegan diet makes you age in reverse, or if you eat the right vegan foods the weight will fall off. And it's pointless to watch recipe videos with ingredients I can't afford. So, I say all of that to say there still are a few relatable vegan Youtubers that I love to watch. I was watching one of them yesterday, and he inspired the delicious pizza I made for dinner. His name is Josef Lincoln and if you've never watched his videos you should! He does a lot of dollar store challenges and eats on a budget most of the time. But he also eats out and splurges now and again so if you're not on a dollar tree budget there's stuff for you too! He takes road trips and recently moved from the east coast to the west coast, LA to be exact. He actually came through SLC recently!! I think I hadn't discovered him yet because I would have tried to stalk him for sure! I seriously cannot recommend his channel enough! He did a hilarious video where he was going to eat like a perfect vegan for a week. Like the vegans I can't relate to. He was eating nothing but whole foods, no fake meats or cheeses, no oil and all of that. It was pretty funny and spoiler alert he didn't make it the whole week. And the video inspired me to make my perfect vegan whole foods pizza for dinner.

I whipped up a homemade cashew cheese with soaked cashews, lemon juice, tahini, salt and pepper and of course nooch.

Here is my pizza before going in the oven. I made a crust out of oat flour, and then added homemade pizza sauce, some cashew cheese, shredded Brussels sprouts, garlic, green onion an sliced green olives.

An here it is fresh out of the oven. This was one of my favorite pizzas I've made recently. I've been experimenting with a few different gluten free crusts, and I think the oatmeal crust is my favorite so far. An luckily for me it's also the cheapest! I just mixed oat flour with enough water to make a dough and kneaded it for maybe a minute and rolled it out. It was pretty pliable and easy to work with. And it was a nice texture after baking.
