Hempeh Sausage and Bacon Pizza (Vegan)

Hempeh and I go way back. I discovered this amazing product when I first cut soy out of my diet. I was about a year and a half into becoming vegan and I had tried just about every veggie burger, mock meat, vegan product you could think of. What made Hempeh stand out to me was it’s simple, high quality ingredients.

Peanuts, Hemp and Spices is all that you’ll find in this tasty plant based protein. Speaking of protein, it has A LOT. 44 grams in just one package!

The pizza starts with a perfectly seasoned and lightly oiled Crust, a layer of well seasoned Marinara (it’s all about the layers of flavor here people!), followed with fresh Garlic, Mushrooms, Sicilian Olives, Hempeh Sausage, Hempeh Bacon, White Onion, Peperoncinis, Capers, fresh Basil, Vegan Parm and another layer of seasoning 👩🏼‍🍳

The Hempeh Sausage and Bacon are clearly the stars here. They take this vegan pizza to a whole other level that even the meatiest of meat eaters would enjoy 😏

I can’t wait for you guys to make this recipe!! When you do be sure to tag @bunnysbite with pics! 😘💕
