Ingredients
- 400 g (~ 1 lb) extra firm tofu
- 250 g (~ 1 cup) good quality tomato pasta sauce
- Your favourite pizza toppings (I used yellow pepper, mushrooms, and sliced black olives)
- 125 g (~ 4 1/2 oz) fresh mozzarella, roughly torn
- 2 tbsp finely grated vegetarian parmesan-style cheese
- 1/2 tsp dried basil (or dried mixed herbs)
Instructions
- Cut the tofu into two thick slices, and squeeze out any excess liquid. You can use a tofu press if you have one, or just squeeze the slices of tofu tightly inside a clean tea towel.
- Add half of the tomato sauce to a baking dish (mine measured around 7 x 11 inches), and place the two slices of tofu on top. Spread the remaining sauce on top of the tofu.
- Scatter over your favourite pizza toppings, being sure not to overcrowd the dish. Then add the torn pieces of mozzarella, and a little parmesan too. I also added some dried basil.
- Bake at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) for around 20-25 minutes, until the cheese has crisped up to your liking.
