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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
