Tofu Mozzarella Cheese Tomato Pizza. What?

My new favorite food has come in the form of  baked tofu slices.  How awesome!  My creative mind listed all the delicious recipe possibilities once I was told I can use it like bread!

“Tokwa”or Tofu is an ingredient that is sometimes used in Filipino Food.  The ingredient is used in two popular dishes.  A savory appetizer  called “Tokwa at Baboy” or Tofu (firm) and Pork.  The second is called Taho.  A sweet treat made of silken tofu, caramel syrup, and tapioca balls.

Growing up in the Philippines, I would hear “Tahooooo!” called out by the street vendor every morning as he walks around our neighborhood.  The practice is still ongoing to this day.  When I visit my parents in the Philippines, I still hear  “Tahoooo”  in the mornings.  I hear it as “Welcome home!”.  The continuing traditions of the motherland is just wonderful.  It’s become one of  the prominent aspects of being back home and one that I look forward to.

Here’s a video I posted on IG few months back from my trip to the Philippines.

Oh yeah.  Pizza.

I have our vegetarian friends to thank for my new high protein food fave.  Over the summer, we met up with Rachel and Aaron in a small Adirondack town.  Vegetarian food options were limited so they came with food, including baked tofu slices that Rachel would eat for breakfast.  We got to talking about other recipes she used the slices for and she mentioned pizza.  Of course!  It’s so simple and delicious that I just had to try it.  The result was a delicious snack that was fast and easy to make since we already had slices available.  I suggest to pre-bake the tofu slices the day before making the pizza.  Store the slices in a sealed container (after it has cooled).  It will keep fresh in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

    This is brilliant! I love the idea of using tofu as the “crust.” My mom has recently gone gluten-free for her health so this would be a fun way to still enjoy pizza.
