Bread and cheese have become major food groups in our house over the past several months. In thinking of ways to make things more interesting, we came up with another recipe that we’re wondering why we didn’t think of before: pizza with a Thai twist. Yummers!

Our sauce for our Thai Pizza was inspired by one of our latest obsessions—the cilantro chutney we created for our Tikka Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. (In fact, we may just start slathering this Thai Pesto on grilled cheese as well. But it would also be great on pasta with some grilled shrimp. The possibilities are endless!)

Make sure to remove pizza dough from the fridge and bring to room temperature at least one hour before assembling the pizza!

Directions

Make the Pesto

In a food processor, pulse the garlic until minced
Add basil, mint, cilantro and nuts, pulse until finely chopped
Add lime juice, fish sauce (if using), and 2 TBSP Masi Masa Thai Green Curry Spice Blend and pulse until combined
Slowly add oil through chute with processor running until ingredients form a paste
Set aside

Make the Pizza

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Grease baking sheet with a little olive oil (we like using a sheet pan).
Roll or stretch pizza dough out the best you can.
Bake for 5 minutes, remove from oven.
Spread the pesto that we made evenly on top of dough being careful not to miss a spot.
Sprinkle two-thirds of the cheese over the pesto.
Add your toppings.
Sprinkle rest of cheese on top.
Bake for 8-12 minutes (baking time will depend on how thin you got your crust).
You know what to do next!

Recipe Note

Feel free to get as creative as you’d like with your topping. Cherry tomatoes, broccoli, potatoes, eggplant, spinach...anything you’d find in a Thai curry could work! The trick is to use vegetables that will cook on top of the pizza in the 8-12 minutes it will be in the oven. For veggies that take longer to cook, we suggest pre-cooking them till they’re about halfway done first.
