Ingredients

1/4 cup coconut milk
1 tbsp yellow Thai curry paste
1/4 batch Artisan Pizza Dough (or 1 – 11 inch pizza crust)
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 1/2 cups mozzarella, shredded
Cilantro, for garnish
Green onions, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 475 °F (245 °C). If using a pizza stone, place it on the center rack to heat.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and yellow Thai curry paste until you have a smooth sauce.
Step 3: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured baking sheet or on parchment paper if using a stone. Spread the curry sauce evenly over the dough.
Step 4: Arrange the sliced red bell peppers, carrot ribbons, and red onion evenly over the sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top.
Step 5: Transfer the pizza to the oven. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the cheese is melted and golden.
Step 6: Remove the pizza from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for a couple of minutes.
Step 7: Slice the pizza and garnish with fresh green onions and cilantro before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add a sprinkle of chili flakes or a dash of sriracha before baking.
Try swapping mozzarella for a mix of mozzarella and provolone for a richer cheese flavor.
Use pre-made pizza dough or crust for a quicker meal without sacrificing flavor.
Add protein such as cooked chicken or tofu to make it more filling.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375 °F (190 °C) for 5-7 minutes to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

A round pizza with a golden-brown crust sits on a wooden board with six slices cut evenly. The bottom layer is a thin, slightly crispy dough crust, topped with a layer of melted cheese that is light golden and bubbly. Over the cheese, thin slices of red and orange bell peppers and small rings of red onion are spread evenly, giving pops of color. Fresh green herbs and sliced green onions are sprinkled on top, adding a fresh touch. The whole scene is on a white marbled textured surface, with a metal pizza cutter visible nearby. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
