Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sliced onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are golden and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Add thyme, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    While onions cook, toss tofu strips with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and smoked paprika. In a separate skillet over medium-high heat, sear tofu until golden on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Set aside.

  4. 4

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough to fit a large baking sheet or pizza stone. Sprinkle pan with cornmeal or flour to prevent sticking. Transfer dough to prepared pan.

  5. 5

    Spread caramelized onions evenly over the dough. Top with seared tofu, cherry tomatoes, and black olives. Sprinkle capers, if using.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until crust is golden and toppings are sizzling.

  7. 7

    Remove from oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, slice, and serve hot.
