How To Make Vegan White Pizza

  • Place flatbread on a baking sheet or cast iron pizza pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Spread a thick layer of the ricotta on each flatbread (shown above).

Serving Suggestions

These summery zucchini flatbreads are great served with any of these toppers and sides:

How To Store Leftovers

  • Refrigerator: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 – 5 days, in a covered container.
  • Freezer: White pizza freezes well for up to 2 – 3 months. To freeze, let cool completely and store in freezer safe containers (affiliate link) or large baggies. If stacking the flatbread, you may want to place a piece of parchment between them so they don’t freeze together.
  • Reheat: Warm in the oven preheated to 350 for 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, microwave using 30 – 60 seconds until warmed through.

  1. Planning to make this, I just don’t have miso easily available to me where I live. Since it’s a small amount, is it okay to skip this ingredient or is it essential to the dish? I was planning on putting this sauce over a layer of walnut basil pesto so I think I’ll be okay on flavor, just wondering if the miso is important to the integrity of the sauce itself holding up.

      I think you’ll be fine without the miso, it adds a little depth of flavor but will be good without it too. The pesto sounds great and will surely make up for it. Enjoy!
