Vegan Garlic French Bread Pizza Two Ways: The Yogurt-Blended Cheese Trick That Actually Melts
Derek Sarno makes two vegan garlic French bread pizzas — a white pizza with homemade pesto, wilted spinach, leeks, and lemon-garlic tofu, and a red pizza with sausage-pepperoni spiced tofu and tomato sauce. The standout hack: blending vegan shredded cheese with oat-based Greek yogurt to create a creamy, molten 'melty cheese' that outperforms standard vegan cheese on its own. Great for family cooking and packed with plant-based protein.
