Flatbread White Pizza
White pizza. Without dairy?! Why not? You certainly don’t need dairy to make creamy, cheesy things. Cashew milk makes a decadently creamy Alfredo sauce, and tofu and nutritional yeast make a scrumptious ricotta! You can make your own flatbread crust (use our naan recipe!), or you can buy flatbread . (Note: You can easily make this recipe gluten free by substituting a gluten free crust as well.)
Ingredients
- 2-4 flatbreads or 1 pre-baked pizza crust
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/3 cup basil leaves
For the tofu ricotta:
- 8 oz firm tofu
