Making Pizza? Hold the Cheese, Please.
If you take a quick glance at this picture of your atypical pizza, you might notice something missing. Yep, that's right. It's cheese! Now at first, it might look odd to see a pizza without any cheese on it, and if this seems strange to you, at this point, you're probably in one of two camps. Right now, you're either saying to yourself, "How disgusting!" or "How delicious!" I would have been in the former category about a year ago. I didn't care what you put on the pizza, but my attitude was, "It better have some goddamned cheese on it or I ain't eating it!"
It's probably been about a year or so since I've stopped eating pizza with cheese. The reason is because my wife started to put all these crazy vegetable combinations on the pizzas, and the plain fact of the matter was, a whole bunch of processed pasteurized mozarella cheese melted all over the veggies made it taste like a gooey, disgusting mess. Another thing I learned once I stopped the cheese craze was that once the cheese was gone, something magical happened: I could actually taste the taste of all the veggies, the herbs, the spices. It all tasted so much better. The cheese actually masked the flavor and I would just taste the cheese.
This pizza here is butternut squash, red onion, and kale. Can you see how cheese would just ruin this pizza? These kinds of pizzas, and by that I mean vegan, taste way better without the cheese. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself. And if you've got a bread machine like we do, I'd substitute a half cup of the white flour for whole wheat.

I really like the pizza which my momma make it at home.The taste of this pizza is really very yummy. Sometimes I like just cheese. Sometimes I like onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, etc veggies. I always tell here to make it once in a week.The above pictures of pizza are really good.
