seitan_man Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I am interested in vegan pizza and would like a good recipe. I don't have a dehydrator. The crust is what I am most wondering about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 The crust is going to be difficult without a dehydrator. Are you opposed to heating in your oven at the lowest setting? I know that's not really raw if it goes over ~ 118 degrees but every recipe I've seen calls for a dehydrated crust. Or, you could use prepared raw crackers as the crust. It will be a bit pricey but it's essentially what most recipes use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seitan_man Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 I will happily heat in the oven at the lowest setting, I don't even know what this dehydrating business actually means anyway. I got a great raw cookbook recently as a present and it spurned my interest in raw cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Well, the raw part of dehydrating is that enzymes are "killed" or deactivated at temperatures above ~ 118 degrees. Most ovens won't heat at that low of a temperature so whatever crust you "dehydrate" at the lowest setting in your oven will essentially be baked. But if you're just looking to try out some recipes and the enzyme issue doesn't bother you - then enjoy the new book!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Its a waste of electricity but you can put the oven on low and leave the door open....thats how I made my first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
