Tofu scramble in a pocket: tofushky

Tofu scrambles in a pocket — tofu piroshky: tofushky — are a solution; Amy’s makes a good frozen version, but these get expensive.

So, make your own by placing a tofu scramble in some dough and baking it.  Sometimes I dont feel like making my own dough ill buy the frozen dough roll out and make it that way...

Ingredients:

Bread (from Cooks.com):

• 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
• 1/4 tsp  sugar
• 3/4 c. warm water
• 1 1/2 tsp EnerG egg replacer mixed with 2 tbs water
• 1 tbs oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 cups flour

Simple scramble:

• 12 oz firm tofu
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 onion, diced
• handful of sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 2 tbs tamari
• 1/8 tsp cumin
• red pepper flakes and black pepper, to taste
• other herbs and spices, fresh or dried, to taste

Instructions:

1. Dissolve sugar and yeast in water and let sit in a large bowl for a few minutes until foamy; add egg replacer, salt and oil.
2. Beat in flour a 1/2 cup at a time until you can no longer beat it in, then knead in the remainder of the flour (add more if needed) to form a stiff dough.
3. Knead for 10 minutes on a floured surface.
4. Let dough rise in greased bowl until doubled.
5. While dough rises, make your scramble. Saute onion until softened, then add mushrooms and bell pepper and cook until mushrooms have released their moisture. Add Tofu, tamari and spices, and saute for 5 minutes or so.
6. Break dough into 8 pieces. Flatten each piece, and roll it out as flat as you can with a rolling pin. Place 1/8 of the tofu scramble mixture in the center of the dough, then carefully pinch the edges. I find it helpful to pinch the center together, then pinch from the counter to the middle on both sides. Some filling will spill out, but try to minimize this.
7. Place tofushky on a greased baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until dough turns golden; bake a few minutes longer if you are planning on eating all in one sitting. If you plan on taking them to work, take them out of the oven at 10-12 minutes, then microwave for 30 seconds and place in the toaster oven for a few minutes to reheat.
