6. On top of the dishcloth, place a single layer of paper towel.
7. Lay the eight tofu slices in a single layor on top of the towels.
8. Cover the tofu slices with another single layer of paper towel.
9. Top with a single dish towel.
10. Now press down on the tofu slices to squeeze out some of the liquid.
11. Place the tofu slices on the prepared baking sheet.
