Teriyaki Tofu Pizza

Teriyaki Tofu Pizza is a delightful fusion of Asian flavors and Italian pizza, featuring a crispy crust topped with succulent teriyaki-marinated tofu, fresh vegetables, and melted cheese. This healthy dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend meal.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat pizza dough - 200 grams
• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Teriyaki sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Mozzarella cheese (shredded) - 100 grams
• Red bell pepper (sliced) - 1 medium
• Green onions (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Carrot (shredded) - 1 small
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
3. In a bowl, combine the tofu cubes with the teriyaki sauce, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
4. While the tofu is marinating, prepare the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, stretching it into a round shape to fit your pizza stone or baking sheet.
5. Lightly brush the pizza dough with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper.
6. Spread the marinated tofu evenly over the pizza dough, followed by the sliced red bell pepper, shredded carrot, and chopped green onions.
7. Top the pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
