      It’s a biga recipe, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x70rHmbin0g

      This channel is pretty good with tips and tricks to perfect your pizza, most of what I’ve learned is from him. Although his toppings aren’t usually vegan, his dough usually is. An oven that reaches 400c is really key to get a crunchy crust with soft interior.

    That looks fuckin delicious!

    I’m not vegan myself but I’ve heard vegan cheeses have gotten better, how do they hold up these days?. Theyre probably cost prohibitive for me so I’ve mostly been learning incidentally vegetarian dishes (I’ve found it harder to sub or cut out dairy than meat so far), but its always cool to learn about interesting food stuff!

      Watch this 3 minute video to understand what the animals go through.

      After witnessing what happens to them, genuinely ask yourself: “is it harder for me to avoid dairy or for these animals to be exploited to death on my name”?

      Once you understand “why” go vegan, the “how” becomes super easy.

      Not OP but they have gotten better. But I find the pizza style cheese just becomes this odd goo that sticks to my teeth. The next morning though - cold from the fridge- it somewhat passes for cheese.

      I also find that some good tasting ones(violife?vitalife?) the Smoked Provalone has great flavour melted, but is superbland otherwise.

        Interesting, thanks for sharing! I’ll have to keep paying attention to them. I wish vegan dairy things would get cheaper. Especially since the processes involved in making some of them them often dont seem like they should be that expensive.

        Oats are dirt fucking cheap and you can make them into oat milk at home with a blender (I dont have a blender 🥲), why does oat milk cost so much?? I know cows milk is like massively subsidized but part of me feels like its also gotta just be a tax from it being a specialty product, on top of not being a commodity the same way cows milk is.

        Dairy has definitely seemed harder to reduce than meat so far, mostly just cause dairy alternatives are just considerably more expensive. Vs like comparing chickpeas/lentils/beans with pork or chicken, where the legumes are just way more affordable

          Yeah prices are all over the place. It was a niche market 20+ years ago but now our stores carry so many brands, flavours and textures, that you’d think prices would drop NY the scaling up.

          There’s a few items that are so close to the dairy product they emulate that people are fooled when we served it. But too many are just bad substitutes and would do better if they didn’t try to market them as a dairy substitute.
