To start, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it’s heating up, let’s get our sauce going. In a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup of vegan ranch dressing, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Next, grab your favorite pizza dough (homemade or store-bought) and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Spread the Buffalo sauce all over, leaving a small border around the edges. Now it’s time for our star of the show – the tofu! Marinate 8 ounces of extra-firm tofu in a mixture of 2 tablespoons of buffalo wing sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika for at least 30 minutes.
Slice the marinated tofu into bite-sized pieces and scatter them over the pizza. Don’t forget to add some red onion slices, chopped fresh cilantro, and a sprinkle of vegan mozzarella shreds (optional). Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. And there you have it – a Buffalo Tofu Pizza With Vegan Ranch that’ll make your taste buds do the happy dance!
