Veggie Tofu Pizza Recipes

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.

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!

ULTIMATE VEGGIE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit with a rack in the upper third of the oven. If you're using a baking stone or baking steel, place it on the upper rack. Prepare dough through step 5.
• Spread pizza sauce evenly over the two pizzas, leaving about 1 inch bare around the edges. Evenly distribute the spinach on top of the sauce, followed by the cheese (use all three cups if you want a cheesy pizza as shown here).
• Top the pizzas with artichoke, bell pepper, red onion, tomatoes, olives and almonds (if using).
• Bake pizzas individually on the top rack until the crust is golden and the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 10 to 12 minutes (or significantly less, if you're using a baking stone/steel-keep an eye on it).
• Transfer pizzas to a cutting board and sprinkle with with fresh basil, red pepper flakes and Parmesan, if using. Slice and serve! Leftover pizza keeps well in the refrigerator for 4 days, or for several months in the freezer.

VEGGIE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a jellyroll pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Pat crescent roll dough into a jellyroll pan. Let stand 5 minutes. Pierce with fork.
• Bake for 10 minutes, let cool.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream cheese, dill weed, garlic salt and ranch dip mix. Spread this mixture on top of the cooled crust. Arrange the onion, carrot, celery, broccoli, radish, bell pepper and broccoli on top of the creamed mixture. Cover and let chill. Once chilled, cut it into squares and serve.

SAUSAGE TOFU CRUMBLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Press and drain the tofu, pouring off liquid as necessary. This will take about 10 minutes using a tofu press. If pressing between plates with weights, it might take up to an hour.
• While the oven is preheating and tofu is pressing, stir together all other ingredients into a medium-large sized mixing bowl.
• When tofu is fully pressed and drained, crumble into small pieces directly into the mixing bowl with other ingredients. Toss and stir to evenly coat.
• Turn onto a silicone baking sheet - or baking sheet covered with parchment paper and put in the oven for 35-45 minutes, checking at intervals (see next instruction).
• After putting in the oven, set the timer for 15 minutes. Open the oven and turn and stir, moving the more dry tofu on the outer edges to the center and the center out to the outer edges. Put back in the oven and check again in 15 minutes.
• After stirring the second time, put back in the oven and check every 2 minutes for 5-10 minutes. This tends to dry out fast. It will be done when it's a little browned and dried.

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.

TOFU PIZZA

Steps:

• Bake pizza crust at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Crumble tofu.
• Mix together tofu crumbles, tomato sauce, and Parmesan cheese.
• When crust is ready, evenly spread the tofu mixture on top.
• Sprinkle with green onion, mushrooms, and green pepper. Top with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake 10 to 15 minutes more until crust is done and cheese is melted.
