Sriracha BBQ Tofu Pizza with Pepper Jack on Spelt Crust. Vegan Recipe
Ingredients
No Rise Spelt Crust:
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp warm hot water
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp active yeast
- 3/4 cup spelt flour
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch , or arrow root starch
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Sriracha BBQ Tofu:
- 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce. Use my soy free BBQ sauce recipe and Chickpea Tofu to make the pizza soy-free., Or use blanched cauliflower or cooked chickpeas, and toss in the sauces to make soy-free
- 2 -3 tsp sriracha or other chili sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder or garlic paste
- 1 cup cubed firm or super firm tofu, pressed
Other toppings:
- sliced onions
- sliced red bell peppers
- pasta/marinara sauce or use more bbq sauce as base
- Use my Almond Milk Pepper Jack, or other vegan cheese shreds
Instructions
- Marinate the bbq Tofu: Press the tofu in paper towels well by hand or keep pressed in kitchen towel under a 10 lb weight for 15 mins. Add the sauces, garlic and pressed tofu in a bowl and let sit until ready to use.
- Make the Pizza dough: In a bowl, add water, yeast, maple. Mix and let sit for 5 minutes or until frothy. in another bowl, add the dry ingredients. Mix well and add to the yeast mixture. Add oil if using, mix and knead for 2 minutes or until smooth. Roll the dough out on parchment using a little flour if needed into a 12 to 13 inch oval. (roll it out using a rolling pin. Spelt dough does not work well with stretching like a regular pizza dough). Let rest near the oven (for at least 10 mins) while you preheat it to 450 degrees F / 230ºc
- Prep the veggies and get the sauce and other ingredients ready. Spread marinara on the shaped dough. Layer the onions, peppers, other veggies. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Add marinated tofu. Drizzle any leftover sriracha bbq sauce over the tofu. Add enough shredded Pepper Jack.
- Bake at pre-heated 450 deg F / 230ºc for 12 to 14 mins. Take the pizza out. Sprinkle chopped cilantro, slice and serve!
- Variations: bake the marinated tofu for 20 minutes until crispy and then add to the pizza.

Have I told you lately that your recipes are consistently fabulous? Thanks for another winnner!!!!!
Thank you for letting me know! I am super happy they do turn out consistently awesome! :)) <3
Just wanted to shout out a big ‘thank you!’ to you for this yummy recipe! Wow, is it awesome. Even the crust is perfect and I’ll use that crust recipe with other pizzas (so easy and yummy). I just told my hubby that if I had to only have one pizza for the rest of my life I’d want this one. lol! Btw, I made it using the new Chao Cheese from the Field Roast folks (tomato cayenne flavor) and it worked well. Thanks again! (from a fellow Seattle-ite!)
We made this and loved it.
Awesome!
Wow, this was amazing! I used your BBQ sauce recipe from the sweet potato canapés. This is a keeper. Thanks Richa!
A friend of my parents made a BBQ chicken pizza for us when I was a kid, and the memory of that flavour has stuck with me ever since. As a grown up (I use that term liberally) who is now vegan, I’ve only recreated it once or twice. Thank you for the reminder to get on it and make more! Love the idea of sriracha in there, too.
Made this today and loved it. Made it exactly as is—why tamper with perfection?
Did have trouble stretching out the dough to 12 inches—would say it was more like 10, maybe even 8 or 9. The crust was just a little soggy—possibly because I sprayed the pizza pan with olive oil so it wouldn’t stick.
Just curious: why did you choose spelt flour as opposed to regular whole wheat or something gluten-free?
Great! i love spelt. Its lighter than whole wheat so it does not make the bread too dense for 1005 whole grain crusts. you can add more flour to make a firmer dough. also using a rolling pin to roll it out does much better, since spelt does not have too much gluten to help with the stretching.
