Vegan Fig, Cheese and Rocket Pizza

For the base:

Add all your dry ingredients to your mixing bowl. Add in the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Flour your surface with a good amount of flour to knead your dough.

Knead the pizza dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes shiny.

Place back into your mixing bowl and allow to rise slightly for 30 minutes while you prepare the rest of your ingredients.

For the vegan “cheese” sauce:

Drain the cashews. Add all the ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth.

Pour the mixture into your pot and cook through on the stove for 5-10 minutes until the sauce has thickened.

Start with the bases now. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Divide the pizza dough into 3 roughly equal balls. Roll out one of the balls until you have desired thickness.

Using your Le Creuset basting brush, brush about 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto your base.

Place onto your Le Creuset Pizza Tray and allow to bake for a short 8 minutes while you prepare your toppings to add to the pizza.

Once your base has slightly cooked through, place the desired amount of cheese sauce onto your pizza.

Spread some of the figs and rocket with a dash of salt and pepper and place in the oven to bake for 15 minutes, until your base is nice and crispy.

Repeat with the remaining pizza dough. Serve with some more rocket and enjoy.
