Ingredients:

1. 4 vegan veggie burgers, crumbled (I used Amy’s All American veggie burgers)
2. 1/2 sweet onion, finely chopped
3. 1 cup Daiya vegan mozzarella cheese shreds
4. 1 ball fresh or homemade pizza dough
5. Ketchup and mustard for dipping

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, add the crumbled veggie burgers, the diced onion and the vegan cheese shreds.
3. On a floured surface, roll out the dough and with a biscuit cutter or large glass cut out 8-10 round shapes. Using a rolling pin, roll each one of the discs out and with a small spoon place the veggie burger filling in the center of each disc (don’t overfill).
4. Fold all of the sides of the dough into the center and gently pinch it to seal. With your hands form the dough into a smooth ball shape and place seam side down on the baking sheet.
5. Bake 15 minutes or until the dough has completely cooked through. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard for dipping.

Serves 8-10
