Ingredients

  • 16 ounces pre-made pizza dough
  • flour for rolling out dough
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme finely diced
  • 5 sage leaves finely diced
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic diced
  • 1/4 cup celery diced
  • 1 cup broth I used vegan beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups cooked lentils
  • 1/4 cup cranberry sauce I used the one from Trader Joe's

FOR THE TOPPING

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and allow to come to room temperature - for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Melt the vegan butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the flour, thyme, sage and a pinch of salt & pepper. Whisk until smooth and bubbly.
  • Add the onion, garlic and celery and cook until slightly tender (approx. 3 minutes). Add the tomato paste, broth and lentils. Stir until combined and the broth has been absorbed. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Lay down a piece of parchment paper the same size as the baking sheet you will use. Place the dough on the parchment paper and roll it into a rectangle. Spread the cranberry sauce down the center of the dough - being sure to leave an edge (see photos for reference). Add the lentil mixture on top of the cranberries.

  • Using a sharp knife, cut 1 inch strips along the edges. Roll up the bottom edge, then begin crisscrossing the strips. Continue to crisscross the edges until they are all tucked in.* Grab the edges of the parchment paper and place the entire thing on the baking sheet.

  • Combine the topping ingredients in a bowl. Brush on top of the dough. Place the loaf in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Slice into pieces and serve with vegan gravy.

Notes

*When it comes to crisscrossing the dough, you don't need to be overly concerned with it being perfect. Just be sure the filling is covered and the top & bottom edges are tucked in. Everything will stick together when it bakes and it will look super pretty!
