INGREDIENT NOTES:
VEGAN PIZZA BASES:
- They make the foundation of the pizzas and include crisp around the edges. You may use mini naan breads as per your preference.

- This provides a cheesy taste and makes the ghost decorations. It melts well in the oven and gives a nice texture. Include vegan cheddar-style cheese if you are not using mozzarella.
