Description
Making a vegan pizza from scratch just got a whole lot tastier thanks to Bare Masala’s Pizza Blend. This certified vegan spice mix combines all your favorite Italian flavors—without the weird additives of commercial blends—so you can feel fancy while keeping it wholesome. We took a simple crust or vegan naan, drizzled it with olive oil, sprinkled the magic spice, and topped it with juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, and all the gooey vegan cheeses your heart desires.
This recipe is playful, flexible, and totally forgiving. Add mushrooms, olives, extra veggies, or even a cheeky topping like homemade mac and cheeze if you’re feeling adventurous. The best part? You get to eat your masterpiece hot off the stone while pretending you’re in a tiny Italian pizzeria…without ever leaving your kitchen.

Bare Masala Pizza Blend

Instructions
-
Drizzle EVOO onto the bread, rub with pizza blend, and let it marinate for a few minutes.
