Tofu Pizza Recipes

TOFU PIZZA

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients.
• Slice the tofu into halves and wrap with paper towel. Place a plate and a heavy object on top of the tofu and set aside for 15 minutes. This process will help tofu drain faster.
• Slice the ham into thin strips.
• Thinly slice the mushrooms and the tomato.
• Season the flour with ½ tsp salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix well. Coat all sides of the tofu with potato starch or flour. This step helps tofu retain the moisture.
• Heat oil over medium high heat in an oven-safe skillet (or regular non-stick frying pan). Cook the tofu until the bottom is crispy and golden brown. Flip and brown the other side. If your frying pan is not oven safe, transfer the tofu to a baking dish lined with parchment paper later on.
• Spread ketchup on top and place a slice of tomato and basil.
• Put the sliced ham and mushrooms on top.
• Sprinkle some cheese. You can place the pan in the oven and broil for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese has nicely melted. Serve immediately.

VEGGIE TOFU PIZZA

Steps:

• In medium bowl, stir tofu, mushrooms, vinegar, oil and Italian seasoning. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. Unroll dough in pan. Bake about 10 minutes or just until edges are light golden brown.
• Spread pizza sauce over crust. Drain marinade from tofu and mushrooms, discarding marinade. Top sauce with tofu, mushrooms, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion and basil.
• Bake 10 minutes; sprinkle cheese over pizza. Bake about 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and crust is deep golden brown.

TOFU PIZZA WITH HAM AND MUSHROOMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice the tofu block into two equal slices. Place them on a paper towel to drain for 10 -15 minutes until most of the liquid leaves the tofu.
• Stack the ham slices and cut them into small pieces.
• Slice the bell pepper into small pieces. Then do the same with the mushrooms.
• Slice the tomato into thin slices. Thicker slices will leave too much juice and make the pizza soggy.
• Mix the starch or flour with salt and pepper.
• Place the drained tofu slices into the starch and coat both sides well to seal in the remaining moisture. This helps prevent soggy tofu.
• Grab an oven-safe skillet (you will put it in the oven later). Now hear up some vegetable oil and fry the tofu on both sides until golden brown.
• Spread the ketchup onto the tofu, add the ham, mushrooms, bell peppers, and tomato.
• Now it's time to sprinkle the cheese on top.
• Place the pan in the oven for about 5 or 6 minutes to broil the pizza. The cheese should melt and begin to brown.
• Once out of the oven, plate the pizzas and garnish them with two basil leaves each. Now serve the tofu pizza while hot.

BARBECUE TOFU PIZZA WITH OPTIONAL CHICKEN SUBSTITUTION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Roll/pull/flatten the pizza crust dough to about 14 inches in diameter (if making one tofu and one chicken pizza, divide dough in half and shape into two pizzas about 8 inches in diameter.)
• Brush a cookie sheet with a little olive oil and carefully lay the pizza crust(s) on the cookie sheet.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce onto the dough, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges. (If making two pizzas, spread 1/4 cup on each pizza).
• Add tofu or chicken to a small bowl and add remaining barbecue sauce. Carefully toss and evenly place pieces over pizza crust. (If making two pizzas, place tofu in one bowl and chicken in the other, and pour 1/4 cup sauce over each. Toss and spread on respective crusts.)
• Lay sliced red onions over the top.
• Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for about 10 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt and the fresh cilantro over the top.
• Slice and serve!
