Pizza Bianca is White Pizza, so without tomato sauce. For this vegan version, I am using homemade cashew cream for the sauce! I also added green olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, and vegan feta. It's so good!

We all had pizza a million times (rough estimate), but have you ever tried Pizza Bianca? It's White Pizza! Instead of tomato sauce, we're using homemade cashew cream. This helps to melt the vegan cheese shreds even more and results in a super creamy and delicious pizza!

As with the toppings, you're in control and you can add whatever you like. I added green olives, sun-dried tomatoes, canned artichoke hearts. After baking, I also added vegan feta (from the Violife brand) because it melts really fast if you add it before.

The pizza dough

As for the pizza crust, I am using my simple homemade pizza crust recipe. You'll need 1-2 hours for the dough to rise because of the yeast. You can also prepare the dough in advance the day before, keep it in the fridge overnight, and take it out an hour before making the pizzas.

The basic steps

flour, yeast, and salt in bowl — Combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl.

vegan pizza dough in kitchen aid — Add the olive oil and water. Let it knead by a kitchen machine with a dough hook (or use a spoon to stir and then your hands to knead the dough) until it's a smooth dough.

vegan pizza dough before rising — Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rise for 1-2 hours.

risen pizza dough — Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rise for 1-2 hours.

rolled out vegan pizza dough — Roll out the dough, try not to apply too much pressure if you want a bubbly crust.

You can use the dough to make thick or thin pizzas. Of course, the baking times will vary on the thickness of your pizzas, so keep that in mind.

If you're looking for a quicker alternative, then this yeast-free vegan pizza dough is the way to go.

The white sauce

For the white sauce, I am using my go-to cashew cream recipe. Soak the cashews in water overnight. Rinse. Drain. Add all the soaked cashews, with water, salt, lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth.

The vegan cheese

On top of the cashew cream goes the vegan cheese. Vegan cheese needs moisture to melt better that's why we always want to put the cheese directly over the sauce. You can use your favorite vegan cheese shreds here. I used Bedda, which is a german brand. If you want to make your own cheese, you can use this Nooch Cheese Sauce, Cashew Mozzarella, or Baked Almond Feta.
