This easy and tasty vegan breakfast pizza with hash brown crust proves that pizza is just as great in the morning as in the afternoon and evening! Made with a flavorful, crunchy potato crust and topped with a zesty tomato sauce, cheese, and plenty of veggies and herbs, this breakfast dish is just as nutritious as it is delicious.
Pre-cook broccoli florets and frozen green peas separately for 3-4 minutes and cool them down in cold water. Drain them before using them.
Peel and grate potatoes. With the help of a cheese or kitchen cloth, squeeze out the liquid.
Mix chickpea flour with dairy-free milk and black salt in a small bowl. Whisk it until the texture is smooth.
Add grated potatoes to the bowl, and season it with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Preheat the oven to 395 F (200 C).
Use a baking tray with parchment paper and brush it with olive oil if it is non-stick.
Add the potato mixture to the middle of the tray. Press it gently with your hands to form a 9-inch (25 cm) circle.
Bake it for 15 minutes. Then brush the surface with some olive oil and bake it for another 15 minutes.
Mix sieved tomato puree (passata) with oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to make the pizza sauce.
Once the crust is crispy, add the toppings: pizza sauce, pre-cooked broccoli, green peas, chopped leek, and dairy-free cheese.
Turn up the heat to 430 F (220 C) and bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Notes
Top Tips:
Grate the potatoes with a food processor to save time. The more moisture you can squeeze out of the grated potatoes, the faster the pizza crust gets crispy in the oven. If you want a crispy (inside as well) pizza crust, make it thinner. Adjust the baking time accordingly.
