Last night I went to a small potluck for the knitting group I joined earlier in July (a vegan knitting group – too cool, no?). My mind turned to fog when I tried to figure out what to bring… Cookies are my favorite, but savory goodness is also a top contender. I opted for these:
Pizza Croissants
-Make a batch of pizza dough
-Roll out the dough into a circle
-Cut the circle into eight wedges
-Spread sauce on each wedge
-Top with fillings (I used Teese, crumbled and seasoned tempeh, red pepper, olives, and mushrooms)
-Roll up each wedge into a croissant-ish shape
-Sprinkle with sesame and poppy seeds
-Bake in a cooperative oven (I used a pizza stone)
I also made a batch of Twisted Snicksters because cookies control the inner workings of my mind. Yes cookie. No cookie. Maybe cookie. See? There’s no escape!
EDIT: Ooooops! I completely forgot to mention the delicious food that the folks in my knit group made. There was a green salad with beans, carrots, and corn; a potato gratin; and an orzo pasta salad with pine nuts, parsley, lemon, and artichokes (my first taste of artichoke – so good!).
that’s why we get along so well: we have cookies for brains!
also: I would take up knitting again if it meant I’d get to eat the stuff up there.
What a fun group you joined!! Gotta love potlucks – especially when there’s amazing folks like you bringing Pizza Croissants and Twisted Snickers!! YUM!!
These are the best idea ever, Amy! And a vegan knitting group! I am so envious – I would love to have more (or, eh, one) “real” as in “in the flesh” vegan friends…luckily I have you cool blogging buddies! Now, how are we gonna figure out this knitting thing?
Amy, I just realized I don’t have you on my blogroll for some bizarro reason, do you care if I add you?
Wow that looks seriously impressive! I challenge any non-vegan to say that our food is boring!
The only thing better than pizza, is pizza croissants! Those looks awesome!
I don’t think those croissants look ugly at all! In fact, I think they look delicious! I love the idea of sprinkling them with sesame and poppy seeds.
I’m so jealous you can just go out and buy Teese. I would have to order it and I just haven’t done that yet. Hopefully soon!
Sigh, I really do have a distorted mind … when I think of knitting – I think of an old lady, knitting away on a rocking chair :0/
Oh my … mmm, I LOVE potluck – an awesome way to eat till your stomach explode (well, kinda) :0) Your pizza croissants look so yummy – what a GREAT idea, too!!
OH YES!! COOKIES ARE THE BEST!! Snickerdoodles (aka Twisted Snickters) look SO yummy! Can you BELIEVE I never tasted them before?!! Yea, I’m from Mars!
holy moly those look amazingly awesome!
ooohhh yum!!! these look super yum!
Wow, your first vegan potluck!?! I always thought portland had vegan potlucks weekly or something like that. :-)
The pizza croissants aren’t ugly! They sound really tasty…
Your knitting group sounds like a lot of fun! Especially a vegan knitting group! I’ve actually never been to a vegan potluck or vegan awareness group or anything, so far as I know, nothing like that exists her in Columbia. But I have been to my share of environmental and anti-war potlucks, as well as fun picnics with friends.
And the pizza corissants look fantastic – the rest of the spread sounds nice too.
the pizzants look yummy! i wish i was there to try them, and the cookies. it all sounds so fancy!
Those look amazing! I’ve been messing around with stromboli but haven’t come up with anything so neat and yummy-looking.
Pizza croissants are a really cool idea! They look great.
I really love this idea! Do you remember at what temperature you baked these?
Oh my goodness… I don’t have any idea! This post is so old. My guess would be 18-20 minutes at around 425 degrees. Hope that helps :)
