Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup raw unsalted cashew
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons tapioca starch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 lb pizza dough
⅓ cup marinara sauce
fresh basil leaf, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the cashews and boil for 10 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain, reserving 1 cup (240 ML) plus 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
  • In a blender, combine the boiled cashews, nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and reserved cooking water. Blend on high speed until completely smooth with no grittiness.
  • Pour the cashew mixture into a small pot. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Once the sauce is stretching and pulls away from the sides of the pot, remove from the heat.
  • Use your hands to stretch the pizza dough into a circle about 14 inches (35 cm) in diameter and ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) thick. Lay on a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Spread the marinara sauce over the pizza dough in an even layer. Use an ice cream scoop to dollop the cashew mozzarella on top.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the crust is lightly golden around the edges.
  • Remove from oven and top with the basil. Cut into 8 slices and serve.
  • Enjoy!
