Guys, I made this epic Deep Dish Pretzel Crust Pizza! That’s proper, deep dish pizza meets pretzel! I’m a brilliant fan of pretzels, and LOVE making my vegan deep dish pizza I used to be immediately obsessive about the concept of mixing these two favourite meals.

It’s really not that tough to make a batch of home made pretzel dough – no boiling is required right here. Simply brush the pizza dough with the baking soda wash and cornstarch wash and it’ll brown up and get all pretzel like!

This scrumptious vegan pizza isn’t solely stuffed with the cheese sauce, nevertheless it additionally has some mushrooms, and recent spinach. All of that tacky savory goodness served on a crisp Pretzel crust?! Unreal!  It’s a cheese pie in pizza type!

In case you haven’t tried olive oil crisped basil on pizza, you must attempt it! It provides a superb taste particularly to the browned mushrooms over cheese sauce mixture !

We use a forged iron skillet to offer the pizza its signature form. You may as well use a cake pan.

The key distinction between conventional pizza dough and pretzel dough is that right here, we brush the crust with a baking soda wash and prebake it earlier than we add the cheese sauce and toppings. Pre baking ensures that the underside doesn’t get soggy, which might simply occur in a deep dish pizza with thick saucy filling.
