Hello foodie lovers! I hope you are having an amazing weekend so far. On today’s post, we are talking vegetarian pizza.

We are slowly getting into fasting recipes for Greek Easter coming up.

My parents asked me to make a vegetarian pizza, so I came up with a creative pizza dough.

Beet dough is my all-time NEW favorite in the world. It all started with beet tortillas, then I decided to branch out with beet dough. 🙂
