Simplistic Margherita Pizza (Vegan & Gluten-free!)
While developing this recipe, my goal was to prove that you could emulate the authentic Italian flavours of the classic Margherita whilst being both vegan and gluten free.
I’d say it turned out perfectly!
The vegan cheese and tomato base topped with fresh basil is a classic that you have to try. With only a few, simple steps, this pizza is SUPER easy to make.
