Topping And Base

2 pc 8-inch Lebanese bread – This will be the base for our pizza. I find that it has a thin, light, and crispy texture when baked in the oven. You can find these in groceries, supermarkets, or any Lebanese specialty store.
1/2 pc small red onion (thinly sliced) – A basic ingredient for any pizza. It sweetens and softens while it cooks.
1/4 pc yellow bell pepper (sliced into strips) – This will add a yellow color to your pizza. It also has a lot of health benefits and will also sweeten up while it cooks.
1/4 pc red bell pepper (sliced into strips) – Same as the yellow bell pepper. It will add an appetizing red color to this dish.
1/4 pc green bell pepper (sliced into strips) – Same as the other two colored bell peppers. This will complete the trio of colors on our pizza.
4 pc mushrooms (thinly sliced) – This has an earthy and meaty texture. It also provides an umami flavor that is similar to meat. I always add this to my pizza so it won’t lack that meaty taste.
1 cup vegan cheese (grated) – This can be store-bought as well. Vegan parmesan will add a nutty and creamy texture as a topping. It will also add seasoning to our pizza. You can also use vegan mozzarella for a sharper cheesy taste.

Vegan White Garlic Sauce Recipe

This white sauce has a creamy, smooth texture. It also has a cheesy and garlicky taste that combines well with the other ingredients in this recipe.

1 cup soy milk or oat milk – The base needed to make the white sauce. It’s great for lactose intolerants as it is dairy-free. It will add a creamy element to our recipe.
1 tbsp minced garlic – This provides the garlicky aromatic taste that we all love. Just make sure to let it simmer in the sauce to get rid of the strong pungent taste.
2 tbsp all-purpose flour – It will thicken up our sauce. Just whisk it in to prevent lumps from forming.
1/3 tsp salt – To season our white sauce and bring out the flavor of the other ingredients.
a pinch of black pepper – Another basic seasoning that adds a fruity heat to our dish.

How To Make Vegan White Pizza Sauce

We are going to make the sauce first so that all the ingredients are already prepared when we start assembling our pizza.

In a saucepan with the fire off, start by pouring the milk. Add the garlic and flour to the pot.
Turn the heat on low and whisk until the flour and garlic is well incorporated.
Whisk to prevent lumps from forming. It will slowly thicken up as the temperature rises.
Season with salt and pepper. Adjust the taste as needed. Simmer for 3 minutes. or until desired consistency is achieved. Whisk occasionally. Set aside to cool off.

If your sauce comes out too thick, you can add a tablespoon or two of warm water to help thin it out.

How To Assemble The Vegan Garlic White Pizza

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C or 356 degrees F. Then prepare a baking sheet and line it up with parchment paper.
Lay the Lebanese bread on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread the white sauce with a ladle on each of the Lebanese bread.
Then sprinkle the mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers all around the bread.
Top each pizza with grated vegan cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the pizza for about 15-17 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bread has turned crispy.
Cut the pizza into slices and serve them individually on plates. Enjoy!
