Vegan BBQ Chicken Pizza

Brittany Roche
This vegan BBQ chicken pizza is made using our stovetop soy curl hydration trick to infuse the barbecue flavor. It has a BBQ sauce base instead of tomato sauce, is topped with vegan mozzarella and dairy-free smoked provolone and finished off with a sprinkle of fresh pineapple and red onion. Enjoy this pizza in the oven or your pizza oven. Instructions for the Pizzadesso in the notes!

Ingredients
  

For the BBQ soy curls:

  • 2 oz. soy curls dry
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 ½ Tbsp vegan chicken bouillon powder
  • 3 Tbsp BBQ sauce

For the pizza:

  • 1 (16-oz) pizza dough
  • 3/4 cup vegan mozzarella shreds
  • 3/4 cup vegan smoked gouda or provolone
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce plus more for drizzling
  • 1/3 cup sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup fresh diced pineapple
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Make the BBQ soy curls: Add all the bbq soy curls ingredients to a high-walled pan. Cook on medium low (covered) for 5 minutes. Then, remove the cover and cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring every couple minutes to prevent sticking to the bottom.
  • Assemble the pizza: Preheat the oven to 475F and stretch your pizza dough to fit your pizza pan, cast iron pan, or pizza stone. First, spread the bbq sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Then, sprinkle 1/2 of each kind of vegan cheese over the sauce. Spread the soy curls on top of the cheese and top those with the pineapple and red onion. Finally, finish it off with the remaining vegan cheese and drizzle with 1-2 more Tbsp bbq sauce.
  • Bake the pizza: Bake your vegan bbq pizza for 15-20 minutes, stopping to rotate the pan once halfway through. It’s ready when the crust is golden and the vegan cheese has melted.
  • Finishing touches: Remove and let cool on your cutting board or wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing. Before serving, top with sliced green onions.

Notes

Pizzadesso Instructions

We love our Pizzadesso pizza oven and highly recommend it if you're in the market for an indoor pizza oven. Here is how we make this BBQ pizza in it:
  1. Follow the instructions for making each component of the pizza as written.
  2. Turn on your Pizzadesso and hit the Wood Fire setting. Then, push in the knob to start preheating. 
  3. Sprinkle a hefty amount of cornmeal on your pizza peel + stretch your pizza dough to fit. Follow the instructions for assembling the BBQ pizza as written.
  4. When the Pizzadesso has preheated, it will beep a couple times & the digital read will switch to “Fill In”. Use the rack handle accessory to safely pull out the rack & transfer the pizza from the peel to the heated stone. Reinsert the rack using the handle, close the door, & the preset countdown will begin.
  5. 3 min later, the Pizzadesso will have worked its magic. Let cool 5 min before slicing, top with sliced green onions, & enjoy!
