Ingredients
- 12 oz vegan chicken-style strips (shredded or chopped)
- 3/4 cup vegan-friendly buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s)
- 1/4 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup vegan blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup Daiya pepperjack (or any vegan shredded cheese)
- sourdough pizza crust
Instructions
- Make the sourdough pizza dough ahead of time
- Turn dough out onto a lightly-floured surface. Divide into four, and shape each half into a ball. (At this point, you can refrigerate or freeze some of the crusts for another day.) Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax. In the meantime, preheat oven to 450°F. If you have a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven during this time.
- In a medium bowl, toss chopped vegan chicken with 1/3 – 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, depending on how spicy you like things.
- Roll dough out to 14” round (depending on how thin you prefer your crust, and the size of your baking pan). If using a pizza pan, you can sprinkle it with cornmeal if you like. If using a stone, you can prepare your pizza peel or transfer pizza dough onto a thin sheet of parchment to slide it onto the stone.
- Pour about 1/4 cup buffalo sauce and 1/3 cup vegan blue cheese dressing onto the pizza crust and spread evenly. Spread buffalo chicken and red onions or scallions over top. Sprinkle pepper jack shreds over all.
- Bake in preheated oven 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. You can finish it with an extra drizzle of buffalo and blue cheese dressing, and an extra sprinkle of sliced scallions, if you like.
