  • 1 tbsp white vinegar .
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger .
  • 4 scallions, white only, sliced .
  • 2 tsps canola oil .
  • 1/2 c fat free sour cream .
  • 1/2 lb tofu

Directions
  • Step #1 If using savory dough, prepare it.
  • Step #2 Heat oven to 400°F Place the oil in a skillet [note you can use water for this step if you want to reduce the fat] over med high heat.
  • Step #3 Add onion, leek, scallion, & ginger & sautee over med-heat/flame until the veggies are limp.
  • Step #4 Add the vinegar & stir until evaporated.
  • Step #5 Add the mushrooms & saute until they give up the liquid, approx 4 mins.
  • Step #6 Remove from heat.
  • Step #7 Process the tofu & sour cream until smooth.
  • Step #8 Blender or food processor/blender, your choice.
  • Step #9 Turn into a large mixing bowl & add the mushroom mix with a slotted spoon then stir this to mix.
  • Step #10 If using savory dough, roll the dough on a 12 inch square of parchment paper into a 10 inch round.
  • Step #11 Pile the filling in the center & spread out leaving a two inch margin all around.
  • Step #12 Bring the dough up around the sides as if you were going to encase the filling but leave a 6 inch window.
  • Step #13 Crimp the dough around the sides to hold in place.
  • Step #14 Transfer to a baking sheet or a preheated stone.
  • Step #15 Bake until crust is golden brown & the filling is set, about 40 mins.
  • Step #16 If the crust browns before the filling is set, cover with foil wrap & continue to bake this at 300F for about 10 more mins.
  • Step #17 Notes: I personally found this needed a bit more spices.
  • Step #18 I used Lemon Pepper, Italian seasoning, a bit of wasabi powedered, Tumeric [made it a nice gold], Salt, & through in some sliced tomatoes when I mixed it.
  • Step #19 You want amounts? I will jiggle it some more & post corrections.
  • Step #20 Note I have a strong taste for strong tastes.
  • Step #21 This is fine with out it but if you like spice play around with it.
  • Step #22 Also I have used Ricotta Cheese [no fat] in place of the Sour Cream.
  • Step #23 I have not tried with Soy Cheese yet.
