mozzarella cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Brush a dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.

In a bowl, mix 5 ounces of flour, 5 ounces of farmers cheese, and 4 ounces of softened butter until combined.

Sprinkle a little flour on the surface and pack down the dough like making pasta or pizza.

Roll the dough out until it's thin and place it in the prepared dish, trimming excess dough from the sides.

Preheat the oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the crust for 5 minutes until it starts to set.

Remove the crust from the oven and prepare the filling ingredients: squeeze the cherry tomatoes to remove juice and seeds, and chop the onion and artichokes.

Mix the fresh tomato sauce with 1 clove of squeezed garlic and add salt if using unsalted butter.

Spread the sauce as the first layer over the crust.

Layer the onion, artichokes, and cherry tomatoes on top of the sauce.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the filling.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

After 20 minutes, check the pie and add mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
