The Best Vegan Pizza Ever
12 oz firm tofu (water pack kind)
one 8 oz can tomato paste
3-5 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
cayenne pepper
black pepper
one large loaf crusty bread (unsliced)
veggies (I like roma tomatoes, mushrooms and artichoke hearts)
olive oil or non-stick cooking spray
My cheese-loving boyfriend begs me to make this vegan pizza every night!
*Preheat oven to 375
*In food processor, mix first seven ingredients until smooth. (The amount of garlic, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, pepper etc is very flexible. Use as much or as little as you like)
*Slice vegan bread the long way. Spread each piece with half of the tomatoey tofu mixture.
*Cover each piece with chopped vegetables. Press them into the tofu spread so that they do not fall off easily.
*Spray the vegetables with olive oil cooking spray so that they roast well. (If you prefer, you can toss the veggies with regular olive oil prior to putting them on the vegan bread)
*Bake on a high rack in the oven for 15-20 min or until veggies are starting to roast and tofu spread is heated through.
*Slice, serve and enjoy!
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I enjoyed this recipe. I used it on pizza dough and added some tobasco sauce to the tofu spread and it turned out nice. Maybe next time I'll try adding some sun-dried tomatoes to the tofu spread.
