Homemade Pizza Sauce – Vegan Pizza with Daiya Cheese!
(Sauce: Enough for 2 Pizzas) – Vegan, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free
Who doesn’t love yummy pizza?! I love making pizza at home it is definitely the preferred kind – homemade pizza. It is one of the most kid-friendly foods I know. Making pizza at home gives me an opportunity to use my kitchen gadgets too! I make my Pizza Dough in my bread maker and then bake up the pizza in my pizza maker. My family knows how much I enjoy cooking so typically my gifts (Birthday, Christmas etc.) include kitchen gadgets. I’ve included a recipe here for my pizza sauce. The Pizza made today, pictured, includes: Homemade Pizza Dough & Sauce, Fresh Broccoli, Chopped Spinach and Daiya Cheese. I also season the pizza after adding the toppings with Italian Seasoning and Salt/Pepper. Enjoy!

I make this a lot but my family literally rebels at the smell of the daiya pizza when it is melted. Wish I had something else I could use instead but haven’t seem many options in my grocery stores.
Honestly we prefer the pizza with just sauce and veggies (we’re used to it anyway). But every now and again I’ll add the Daiya… our kids like it. 🙂
My sense of smell sucks (ask my husband) so I guess I never noticed. Lol!
The pizza sauce is yummy, try it next time with just the veggies. 🙂
I shall. Thanks!
I absolutely love it 😀. Something special about homemade pizza
