Total Time: 1 hr 5 mins Preparation Time: 35 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups soy flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup club soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/8 cup diced red onion
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 3 large roma tomatoes, diced
  • 8 ounces no-sugar-added tomato sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (may substitute italian seasoning for dried herbs)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 24 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 ounces pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 cup crumbled italian sausage, cooked
  • 1/2 cup diced parma ham
  • 1/3 cup julienned red bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup julienned green bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup julienned red onion
  • 2 portabella mushroom caps, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • dried oregano, to taste

Recipe

  • 1 preheat oven to 375 degrees f.
  • 2 make the crust: generously spray 2 (12-inch) pizza pans with nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray.
  • 3 in a medium bowl, stir together all of the crust ingredients to make a smooth, thick, pancake-like batter.
  • 4 using a rubber spatula, spread the batter as thin and evenly as possible over the 2 pans.
  • 5 place pizza crusts on center racks of the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and firm to touch.
  • 6 remove crusts from oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees f.
  • 7 make the sauce: in a saucepan over medium heat, heat olive oil and then sweat onions and garlic in oil, cooking just until softened and translucent.
  • 8 add diced tomatoes and the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • 9 compile the pizzas: spread the tomato sauce and then the mozzarella cheese evenly over both crusts.
  • 10 top 1 pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and ham, and top the other with the bell pepper strips, onions, and mushrooms.
  • 11 lightly sprinkle 1 tablespoon olive oil over each pizza, and sprinkle each with a dash of dried oregano.
  • 12 place the pizzas back in the oven to bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese melts and starts to brown.
  • 13 cut each pizza into 8 slices.
