The veg piadipizza is a fake piadina but also a fake pizza: that’s right, it’s not piadina, it’s not pizza, and it’s even vegan. Crunchy and tasty, for me the veg piadipizza was a true revelation: very simple to prepare and it cooks in a pan. Definitely to be enjoyed hot and crispy, the veg piadipizza is perfect for a quick lunch but also for the hot season when you crave something tasty without having to turn on the oven. Super easy cooking in the pan and it’s already on the table!

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup spelt flour (or your choice)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp instant yeast for savory preparations
- 5 tbsp tomato pulp
- to taste oregano
- to taste garlic powder
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- to taste vegan mozzarella
- 8 Taggiasca olives
Tools
- 2 Bowls
- 1 9.5-inch Pan
- 1 9.5-inch Glass Lid
Steps
In a bowl, mix the flour with the instant yeast for savory dishes and the salt, then add the water and the oil. Work first with a fork and then with your hands to obtain a soft and slightly sticky dough. Cover it and let it rest for fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce in a small bowl: mix the tomato with the salt, oil, and oregano and set aside. After the resting time, grease a 9.5-inch pan with a little extra virgin olive oil and spread the dough directly inside using your hands, keeping the edges slightly higher. Top with the tomato sauce, cover with the lid, and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Remove the lid, add the vegan mozzarella and the olives, cover again, and cook until the cheese melts. Remove the lid and let dry for a couple of minutes on a slightly higher flame so that it becomes beautifully golden and crunchy at the base.
Notes
For this recipe, as I couldn’t consume dairy at the moment, I used a vegan mozzarella that I bought at the supermarket and I really liked it. I mention it for reference: VIOLIFE for pizza.
