– That's the tip of the month for me this week This week? Tip of the month for me this week
(slurping) Today on the Edgy Veg we are going to attempt a Pizza Hut style stuffed crust pizza (upbeat music) About a month ago I did a poll on my Instagram asking you guys what fast-food copycat recipes you guys wanted, so today we are doing a Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza and I have a special guest today – Hello! – So James is going to help me We haven't done this before We're going to do it completely on the fly and he's here because I hate kneading and rolling out pizza dough
So that's your one job – My one job? Okay – Other than like telling me what toppings I should put on the pizza I guess I'll give you that too So you have two jobs
– Nice – You think we'll nail it? – Yeah, oh I love this I'm all over the pizza making (laughs) – The thing with vegan pizza is you have to have the right vegan cheese – Yeah, I'm a real stickler for the mozzarella
We need to have good, good mozzarella – I bought three different types of mozzarella – Oh! – So stay tuned for that Hey, you're here, shall we do the subscriber of the week? – Yes – Where's your phone? My phone, a phone, any phone

Make sure we see you comment on videos, like us on Instagram, and other social media – All the links are in the description box below Alright guys, now that we have that out of the way, let's see if we can make a Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza The key to any good pizza is it good pizza sauce I just had this can organic tomato sauce in my pantry
So I'm just gonna open that up And I'm just gonna use some spices to give it more of a like robust flavor instead of just pouring tomato sauce on a pizza Just gonna add that to this pot here To the tomato sauce I'm going to add a quarter teaspoon of garlic powder and a quarter teaspoon of onion powder Half of a teaspoon of basil
Half of a teaspoon of oregano and then I have a pinch of chili flakes You can omit this if you don't like any heat A quarter teaspoon of salt and I have quarter teaspoon of pepper I'm gonna give this a good mix and I'm gonna throw it onto the stove and cook that for about 30 minutes I'm cooking
I forgot I have to add a half of a teaspoon of lemon also Now I'm cooking Along with the lemon I also forgot to add a quarter cup of water so I'm off to a good start today Alright, let's talk about what's going on this pizza I made the pizza dough from my cookbook
You can get the recipe for that if you have my cookbook It's a pretty basic dough recipe I just use herbs as well and a couple chili flakes in that So I made that last night and then I couldn't find vegan pepperoni anywhere so I got these Gusta sausages So I'm just going to slice them so that they look like little tiny pepperonis This is bubbling, so I'm gonna turn that down
– You wanna mix this around since it's bubbling? – Look, he's helping I cut up these green peppers I don't usually like green peppers on pizza but apparently a meat lovers deluxe has green peppers on it So James requested those Because I'm kind of doing like a meat lover style, I'm also using the Tofurky meatless ground round
So I think that'll add some nice texture to the pizza and really make it look really nice and full Now for the cheeses Hang tight, this is gonna be a wild ride to figure out what cheese we should use Now, for the stuffed crust, I couldn't find any cheese blocks that were vegan and I couldn't find any vegan cheese strings But I found these mozzarella slices by Earth Island so I'm just going to cut them into I guess things that look like cheese strings and then use that around the border of the pizza
And then for the cheese on the actual pizza, I have two options here I have this Gusta grating block, which I think is good for melting? I've also got this no buffalo vegan mozzarella So I'm gonna grate both of these and throw them on the pizza and hopefully they melt and kind of disperse like normal cheese does So we're gonna give this a try and just see what happens It could look exactly like a Pizza Hut pizza or it could look nothing like a Pizza Hut pizza
I don't know, I've never done this before Alright, we're going to preheat our oven and we are going to preheat it with the pizza stone in the oven You want to do this because if you put a cold pizza stone in a hot oven, it will crack That's not what you want with your expensive pizza stone So just put the stone in the oven, preheat the oven to 425, and you are good to go
Now that the oven is preheating, we are going to try and get that cheese string look with these mozzarella style slices I don't know how many of these I'm going to need I'm going to start with one package and I guess we'll just find out in a sec How I think this is going to work is I'm going to slice them into like cheese string like shapes Oh yeah, it stays together! Yay! Yay! I think this might work
I have to take care of the sauce so I'm going to make my trusty manservant do the cheese gratings I hate grating – Did you just call it cheese crating? – Cheese grating – Am I gonna put it in a crate of some kind? – That's the slowest cheese grating I've ever seen That's nice
Oh, so good at cheese grating – Yeah Oh Luigi, you want some mozzarella? Hey from Maggio, oh – Jamie there's literally nothing Italian about Pizza Hut – Oh yeah, that's true
Okay Alright so we're gonna grate this second mozzarella and we're gonna see which one's better But this one looks pretty cool – [Candice] Grate that cheese for me baby A-ha A-ha
– Well this looks really good – Are you grading the wrapper too? – I hope not – Three Two One
Cheesy mozzarella Well that was not an Italian accent Oh, cheesy mozzarella – So we're gonna make two pizzas One with the mozzarella style and one with the grating block
But there's one rule in our house I don't roll out the dough – So this is on me now? – This is on you – This is not gonna be graceful There is gonna be nothing graceful about this whatsoever
And now that we've cut that dough in half, I think it's pretty good size and now I'm going to knead it and then I need it to be two inches larger than our pizza stone – Alright, we've got our pizza stone It's been getting super hot in the oven We're going to grease it Alright, now we're gonna take that dough, pop it on here
Be very careful with this It's very, very hot You don't want to burn yourself Alright so my general rule here with pizza is once you have the pizza on the pizza stone you have about two minutes to dress that guy up and throw him into the oven Or else you end up with a soggy pizza
I'm just gonna add my fake cheese strings around the edge of the pizza And then I'm just gonna fold the edge over the cheese string Well this is definitely not going to be the prettiest pizza in the world Alright so this isn't sticking as well as I'd like, so I'm going to get some water here So I'm just brushing the dough with some water but it creates almost like a glue
Fold our crust over Alright I learned some things for the next one Oop Well that burns I'm gonna put on the sauce here and I'm gonna cover a little bit of the seal here so you can't really see it
So it's not super obvious Now I'm going to brush the edge of the crust with some olive oil That's going to keep it from getting dry Alright, let's add our toppings I'm going to start with the veggie ground round
Now, I'm going to add the mushrooms Now, let's add some of that veggie sausage And some green pepper And last but not least the mozzarella cheese Alright, now that we have our pizza, it's dressed, it's ready to go
We're gonna toss it into the oven I'm gonna set my timer to cook the pizza for about 12 minutes, it could take more but I definitely want to go in and check it out for 12 Okay So the cheese that James picked, it looks like it tastes really good but it didn't really melt So we're going to try these second cheese, the Gusta one, on the second pizza
– Alright so we have both pizzas – We have the one with the cheese that I chose, which really melted And we have the pizza with the cheese that you picked, which didn't really melt It still looks really great and the cheese on the crust looks awesome Which one should we try first? – Let's try the one that didn't melt
– Okay, so pick a piece I mean the stuff crust looks awesome – I'm gonna try the crust first – You're gonna try the, okay me too (crunching) Okay, so
I feel like you're really, really close to me There we go So the stuff crust is really good The thing about vegan cheese is that it hardens too quickly – Mm-hmm
– Right? – I totally agree I wish this cheese was gooier and stayed gooier but the pizza itself I think tastes really good – Yeah, it's a really tasty pizza So first pizza definitely a win Just the cheese isn't very melty
Would still definitely eat it – Yeah – Like somebody made this for me, it would be the bomb and so yummy Okay, so I'm really eyeing the second pizza – Yeah can we try that already? – So I have to share with you? – Yes
– Here you go, monsieur – Oh, this is a good piece – What do you think I'd give you a subpar piece of pizza? What kind of wife do you think I am? Look at the cheese on this – This looks really good It's like the cheese is nice and oily
This looks legit Oh yeah, this tastes like regular mozzarella – It's so good because it's gooier, it adds a nice moisture to the pizza whereas the other one was a bit dry because the cheese wasn't very gooey – It's oilier, like it has that like natural cheese oiliness which is really, really good I wouldn't have believed that this was not regular cheese
This is definitely carnivore approved – Yay!
