Tester: Deep Dish Pizza Pie
Posted by Nina on Aug 26, 2010

This is an AMAZING recipe. Imagine for a minute those delicious garlic breads that the pizza joints give you with marinara dipping sauce… now imagine them as both the crust of your pizza and on top of your pizza! Then imagine for a minute that there is a beautiful blend of cheese, peppers, and pepperoni.. only imagine that it tasted the same but no animals were used or killed.. mouthwatering right?! Well this pizza is exactly that!
This is another tester recipe for Celine & Joni’s upcoming book called Hearty Vegan. The book is not diet friendly but the foods inside are pretty darn incredible! This one was no exception.. I probably would buy the cookbook just for this recipe alone! The longest prep time for this recipe was making the bread.. everything else was just a dump and cover method. I don’t usually like thick crusted pizza (I am not a chicago pizza fan!) but this one was purely amazing… everything about it!
I wish I had taken the time to make the top of my pizza look really pretty but I didn’t think I would be photographing it or blogging about it.. I mean I knew it would be good but I didn’t think it would be so delicious that I couldn’t wait to blog about it!! The recipe says it serves 8 but in our house it serves more like 10.. with 8 servings that brings your calories to 671 or 10 servings at 537 calories. That’s not really too bad considering its a huge pizza pie topped with garlic bread sticks and the worst thing in it, is the healthy oils! Win-win!
