Prepration for:Veggie Focaccia Pizza with Red Hemp Pesto (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free Option)

Step 1/5

Make the focaccia base: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Stir in apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and water. Mix until a sticky dough forms. Spread dough evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or pan (about 1/2-inch thick). Let rest while you prepare toppings.

Step 2/5

Make the red hemp pesto: In a food processor, blend sun-dried tomatoes, hemp hearts, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and salt until smooth. Add a splash of water if needed for consistency.

Step 3/5

Assemble: Spread the red hemp pesto generously over the focaccia dough. Arrange your sliced veggies on top.

Step 4/5

Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is cooked through. Broil for an extra 2–3 minutes for a crispier top if desired.

Step 5/5

Serve: Top with fresh arugula or spinach and a sprinkle of hemp hearts. Slice and serve warm.
