Barbecue Tofu Pizza With Optional Chicken Substitution Recipes

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!
