Cobweb Pizza Recipe

Motivate your Bat Self-Cobweb Pizza
Vegan, 250 Calories or Under!

The weekend is here! Pizza on a friday or Saturday is a staple in many American homes, including mine. Luckily, I have found a way to have my slice and eat it too, without undoing all of the good I have done for my body during the week! I have this pizza every single Friday, changing up the toppings depending on my mood.

This week I made it with crumbled tempeh, so that will be the basis of this recipe. Of course, the calorie count will vary depending on the exact cheese and topping you use, but it's really easy to keep the calorie count down because of the awesome crust that is used.

This pizza is the perfect portion for one person! Feel free to pair it with a piece of fruit or a side salad (just watch the calories in your dressing). for an EASY, filling meal.

Serves: 1
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes



Ingredients:

  • 1/8 block of Teese vegan cheese (Teese tends to be lower in calories than most vegan cheeses) or 1 slice of vegan cheese slices of your choice
  • 1/4 cup crumbled tempeh
  • 1 tbs pizza sauce or pasta sauce
  • 1 Joseph's pita bread, the Flax Oatbran Whole Wheat variety
  • Italian spices, to taste
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbs water
Method:
  • In a small bowl or cup, mix soy sauce, water and a bit of Italian seasoning taste. Add crumbled tempeh and mix well. 
  • On a lightly greased pan, broil tempeh for 5 minutes, or before it starts to burn. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice your vegan cheese into thin, 1/8" strips.
  • Add pizza or pasta sauce to crust (Joseph's pita).
  • Add your toppings, in this case the tempeh. Spread evenly and flatten a bit with a spatula.
  • Add your cheese, making a cobweb formation.
Your creation should now look something like this. I decided at the last minute that I wanted "bugs" in my cobweb, so I aded some sliced black olives. Isn't it cute?

Bake on a lightly greased pan for approximately 15 minutes, checking on it periodically to make sure it does not burn.

That's it! Now let cool, and nom nom away, completely guilt free..
