    3.5 grams dried yeast, 1 teaspoon Sugar, 300 ml warm water
  • Mix it and leave for 10-15 minutes until foam forms.
  • Add the flour and salt to this.
    325 gm plain flour, 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Stir and combine using a wooden spoon to form a dough.
  • In another bowl, add 1.5 tablespoons of oil and grease it all over.
    2-3 tablespoon olive oil
  • Transfer the dough into this bowl and turn the dough to coat the oil all over.
  • While the dough is in the bowl, lightly coat your hands with oil and pull the edge of dough and fold over the top.
  • Repeat this on all four sides. Do this 2-3 times.
  • Do not worry if you think the dough is not behaving well, as this would be a very loose dough. Just pull and roll.

  • Cover and let it proof in the fridge overnight or leave covered at room temperature for 4 hours to bake the same day.
  • Once the dough is proofed, Grease a 27*18 cm or ( 10 * 7 Inch) baking tray with remaining olive oil. The tray should be at least an inch in depth.

  • Next, oil your fingers and press dimples all over the surface.
  • Spoon small amounts of thick homemade green coriander chutney over the dough, then swirl it lightly so you still see patches of dough between the green streaks.
  • Scatter the tofu evenly so every slice gets some.
    ¼ Cup Firm Tofu
  • Finish with a little olive oil and, if you like, flaky salt. That last touch helps the crust taste fuller and the top bake up beautifully.

  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon of chutney on the top and spread it.
  • Press the tofu pieces in between the dough.
  • Grease your fingers with olive oil and make indentations and press into the dough reaching the base of the tray.
  • Place the tray in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden on the top.
