Notes
Ingredients Note
- Pizza dough: If using store-bought, I recommend Bob's Red Mill brand because it is naturally vegan.
- Pumpkin puree: Make sure that it is puree, not filling.
- Vegan cheese: I highly suggest using Gouda cheese. It can be homemade or store-bought.
- Store them in an airtight plastic wrap or zip lock to preserve their freshness. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 days.
