Garlic Bread Pizzas 2 WAYS

Ingredients:
1 block (450g) extra firm tofu, sliced in half
1 large, wide loaf of French bread or similar
230ml (approximately 1 cup) olive oil

White Pizza Toppings:
225g extra firm tofu, shaved thin
45 tablespoons fresh pesto
34 tablespoons fresh grated garlic in olive oil
100g baby spinach (2 large handfuls), wilted and excess water squeezed out
1/3 of a leek, sliced into thin rounds
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
Salt to taste

Red Pizza Toppings:
225g extra firm tofu, shaved thin
1 cup tomato sauce
Seasoning for Tofu (SausagePepperoni Flavor):
2 tablespoons fresh garlic in olive oil
1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Oregano
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon flake salt (use sparingly if fine salt)
¾ teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed
Salt to taste

For the Tofu:
Slice the block of tofu in half and shave thinly.
In separate bowls, combine the respective seasonings listed under each pizza topping category. Mix well and allow to marinate while preparing the rest of the pizza ingredients.
The 'Melty Cheese':

5 tablespoons Oatly Greekstyle yogurt (or any vegan Greekstyle yogurt)
1 cup vegan shredded cheese (choose your favorite variety)
A pinch of salt
Instructions:

Mix the vegan shredded cheese with the Greekstyle yogurt until well combined. Add a pinch of salt if needed.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). If using a convection/fan oven, set to that setting; if not, be aware that baking may take a little longer.
Proceed with assembling your pizzas with the toppings as desired.

Notes:

Consider adding nutritional yeast to the 'Melty Cheese' mixture for an extra cheesy flavor.
For a crispier base, consider toasting the French bread lightly before adding the toppings.
If the spinach has a lot of water after wilting, squeeze it to reduce the moisture content, so it doesn't make the pizza soggy
