3. Step 3: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured baking sheet or on parchment paper if using a stone. Spread the coconut curry sauce evenly over the dough.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add thin slices of cooked chicken or shrimp before baking.
• Swap mozzarella for a blend with provolone or fontina for a creamier cheese topping.
• If you like it spicier, add a sprinkle of red chili flakes or use a spicier curry paste.
• Use pre-made pizza dough or crust for a quicker preparation.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in a skillet or oven to keep the crust crispy and the cheese melty.

FAQs

Can I make the curry sauce ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the coconut curry sauce a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just stir it well before spreading on the dough.

What if I don’t have a pizza stone?

You can bake the pizza on a baking sheet or directly on oven rack using parchment paper. The crust may be slightly less crispy but will still taste delicious.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Pizza Base

• 1/4 batch Artisan Pizza Dough (or 1 – 11 inch pizza crust)

Curry Sauce

• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 1 tbsp yellow Thai curry paste

Toppings

• 1/2 cup red bell peppers, thinly sliced (about 1/2 pepper)
• 1/2 cup carrots, cut into thin ribbons
• 2 tbsp red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 and 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Garnish

• Fresh cilantro
• Green onions, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475 °F (246 °C). If you have a pizza stone, place it on the center rack to heat up, which will help create a crispy crust.
2. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the coconut milk with the yellow Thai curry paste until the sauce is smooth and fully combined. This will be your flavorful base for the pizza.
3. Assemble Pizza: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured baking sheet or on a parchment-lined peel if using a heated stone. Spread the curry-coconut sauce evenly over the dough. Then layer the thinly sliced red bell peppers, carrot ribbons, and red onion evenly across the surface. Finally, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the toppings.
4. Bake: Transfer your assembled pizza to the oven. If using a stone, slide the pizza onto it; if using a baking sheet, place it directly in the oven. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the crust turns a light golden brown and the mozzarella is melted and bubbling.
5. Cool: Remove the pizza from the oven and place it on a wire rack for a few minutes to cool slightly and allow the crust to firm up.
6. Garnish and Serve: Slice the pizza and garnish with freshly chopped green onions and cilantro before serving to add bright, fresh flavors that complement the curry.

Notes

• If you don’t have an artisan pizza dough, store-bought pizza crust works well as a substitute.
• Adjust the amount of yellow Thai curry paste to control the level of spiciness.
• Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust; preheating it is essential.
• Adding other toppings such as thin slices of chicken or tofu can make this pizza more filling.
• Letting the pizza rest a few minutes after baking helps prevent the cheese from sliding off when sliced.
