Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

  2. 2

    Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, toss tofu cubes with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Spread tofu cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

  5. 5

    On a lightly floured surface, stretch and roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza peel.

  6. 6

    Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

  8. 8

    Arrange tomato slices over the cheese, then scatter the crispy tofu cubes on top.

  9. 9

    Bake pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  10. 10

    Remove pizza from oven, top with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
