I've found the best way is to slice it, put on cookie sheet covered with parchment and sprayed lightly with cooking spray, bake for 20 min at 350 degrees - flip over and bake for another 20 minutes. Then turn heat down to 200 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes. Check for firmness. Some people like it at this stage but I prefer to flip them and cook another 20 minutes. Total baking time is 1 hour 20 minutes. I usually marinade mine first. Then after it's baked you could do the nutritional yeast/pan fry thing. Or maybe you could just try adding the nut yeast before baking it and see how that works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33432539.post-70128349284378778092007-03-21T19:49:00.000-05:002007-03-21T19:49:00.000-05:00I love getting marinated baked tofu at the deli at...I love getting marinated baked tofu at the deli at the natural foods store. I've always tried to replicate the taste and texture but could never get it right. They don't freeze it because it is not spongy but it is very firm.

My first thought when I was eating 43rd St Deli's version was, "hmmm, do they freeze it?". but honestly, it doesn't have that spongy chewy quality that frozen tofu has. it's just reeeeally packed firm somehow.<BR/><BR/>it's perfect tofu, honestly. i just don't know how they get it that way!Don't Get Mad, Get Vegan!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16560260155964556702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33432539.post-58735153249280084032007-03-21T15:55:00.000-05:002007-03-21T15:55:00.000-05:00Theonlytania stole my comment.
