Tonight I made pizza using Daiya vegan cheese.
What I used for the pizza:
Daiya cheese Italian blend (I added the cheese about 3/4 way through)
Vegan Pizza Dough
Pizza Sauce
Italian herbs
Thyme leaves (dried)
Basil leaves (dried)Mushrooms
Spinach leaves (put on AFTER you take out the pizza from the oven)
Onion (this time I used brown)
Garlic
I preheated the oven to 400 degrees F.
I stretched out about half the dough (I froze the other half for another time) and I spread on some pizza sauce and I added the garlic, mushrooms, onions, Italian herbs, thyme, and basil.
After about 20 minutes I added the Daiya cheese and left it in the oven to cook a bit more and for the daiya to melt. (Entire cooktime is about 25-30 minutes for this pizza, time varies).After I took the pizza out of the oven I added my spinach leaves.
The Daiya cheese is great. After having gone vegan I had missed cheese. I did have an Amy's Kitchen Vegan pizza with their vegan cheese which was pretty good, but besides that I haven't had much vegan cheese. I've used some Toffuti vegan cheddar slices for grilled cheese which was pretty good. One World uses daiya cheese and it's yummy. :]
A lot of other vegan places use Daiya, so I've heard.
The cheese melts and stretches pretty good. I got mine from Whole Foods, a small box for about 10 dollars. It's kind of a lot :/ I'm going to figure out if it's cheaper to order online or not. But I only sprinkled a bit of cheese on my pizza tonight so I could save some.:] Either way I recommend Daiya cheese to vegans who have not already tried it. I still need to try their Cheddar style.
Here are places I know that you can get Daiya cheese.
Whole Foods (I would call a head and make sure your local store has some)
Pangea the Vegan Store
Vegan Essentials
You can go also find out from Daiya's "where to enjoy" section to view different locations of restaurants using Daiya and retail locations with it.
