I just love pizza. Lately, I have been using Ezekiel sprouted wheat tortillas for my crust. Today, I decided to try my hand at homemade whole wheat crust. Mostly, because I was not in the mood to go to the store to get more tortillas. I am glad I did because the pizza came out amazing! I chose mushroom and spinach because those are my favorite pizza toppings.
So, being vegan and all, I had to find a way to make a good pizza with out cheese. I mean, I could do the vegan cheese, but it is far too processed for my liking. So to get around that, I decided to make a “cheese” out of caramelized onions.
