Coca de Venduras/Coca Vegetable/Vegan Catalan Style Vegetable Pizza

Pizza, this word itself makes my kids happy, they just love to have pizzas everyday,but since i dont like to feed often my kids with these cheesy super rich Italian dish, i'll try myself to make them at home with healthy stuffs in it. Sometimes i'll make wheat based pizza crust or else i'll go for mixed millets pizza crust as well. Also i'll try to add grated veggies in my homemade pizza based crust.However i'll find all the way to add healthy stuffs in my homemade pizzas. Pizzas makes an excellent meal if they are prepared in a healthy way. If you have an opportunity to make a pizza without cheese, how can i miss it. When googling, the name coca pulled me to go through the recipe and got to know more about this Spanish aka Catalan style of tart aka pizza which goes for a yeasted thin crust topped with sauteed vegetables without cheese.

The most interesting part of this Coca de Venduras is this pizza is topped generously with summer vegetables and its completely vegan. A prefect treat for vegetarian and vegan lovers, if you love summer vegetables loaded tart or pizza then this pizza is for you. Actually i prepared this beautiful pizza for this month's  We Knead To Bake, a monthly baking event by Aparna of My Diverse Kitchen.Since Aparna is not feeling well, she suggested the members of this group to bake Pizza with different topping or shapes without any particular rules to follow.When i saw this Catalan style vegetable pizza, the simplicity of this pizza pulled me to give a try soon. Obviously i tried immediately this vegan pizza, this pizza is very super easy to make and delicious to enjoy definitely.Sending to Bake Fest guest hosted by Nalini.
