Thai Red Curry Pizza

Alright, this Thai Red Curry Pizza is what I’m talking about: Asian-Italian fusion! With any ingredients you can think of, and anything you would toss into your favorite Thai curry, this is one for the record books (…food blog)!

For really easy pizza dough (on it’s own), take a look at this post! Or, try it keto-friendly/gluten-free with our cauliflower pizza dough here!

The perfect summer pizza

As you know, I absolutely love bringing different cuisines together, making something up and vearing away from traditional cooking. As I write that, it is likely this way because I am not professionally trained, so all I know how to do is make things up, but either way, if I can do it, so can you!

This Thai Red Curry Pizza hits on all the main components of any delicious Thai curry, omits the coconut milk, eaten on bread instead of a bed of rice and packs the punch of all the best spices in Asian cuisine, on a simple-to-eat simple and delicious pizza crust.

Here, I’ve thrown together two types of mushroom, salted eggplant (drains out the water) , green peppers, tomato, red onion for nice base flavour, cooked shrimp (also reduces water cooking out into pizza dough) and a delicious red curry sauce base, packed with spice and garlic.

Enjoy this summery pizza year round, wherever you are in the world! Best enjoyed with a cold beer, sparkling soda or handcrafted Mai Thai cocktail!

Ingredients

  

Pizza Dough

• 330 g all purpose white flour (approx 2 cups) – save some for dusting as well
• 1 cup room temp water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp dry active yeast

Pizza Sauce (base)

• 1 tbsp thai red curry paste (feel free to use yellow or green curry instead, process and quantity remain the same)
• ½ cup butter
• 1 ½ tsp sesame oil
• 1 ½ tsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic

Toppings (be creative!)

• 1 cup Mozzarella grated
• ½ cup Shrimp cooked
• ⅓ cup Enoki Mushrooms
• ½ cup White Mushrooms
• ⅓ cup Red Onion
• ½ cup Long Eggplant thinly sliced, salted (min one hour prior)
• ⅓ cup Green Pepper
• 1 tbsp Green Onion sliced, for garnish
• 1 Thai Red Chili for garnish
• ½ Tomato sliced, add in last 5 minutes of pizza bake

Instructions

 

Dough

• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine yeast, sugar and water and mix thoroughly until bubbles start to form, 5-15 minutes.
• Mix remaining dry ingredients in large mixing bowl or automatic mixer bowl. Combine with wet ingredients and mix by hand or with mixer and dough hook until dough becomes smooth and not sticky. If dough is sticky, mix in additional white flour.
• Set aside and let rise for 1-2 hours, until dough has visibly risen.
• Cut in half (or whatever ratio to make two pizzas) – Dough should make approximately 2 – 9 inch pizzas.
• (OPTIONAL) Par-bake dough, 5 min max before applying sauce and toppings.
  

Sauce

• Mix oil, sesame oil and soy sauce to create a nice paste. Whip together into butter and garlic.
• Set aside.
  

Assembly

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• If par-baking, place flattened dough in oven for 5 minutes and remove. If skipping, add 3-4 minutes to bake time.
• Add thin layer of sauce onto dough. Add whichever toppings you choose to use and top with cheese.
  
• Set timer and bake for 11-12 minutes, until nicely browned and cheese melted. If not parbaked, add approximately 3 minutes.
• Add fresh tomato with about 5 minutes left in the bake.
• Let sit 3 minutes prior to cutting. Garnish with green onion and Thai red chili.
• Slice, serve, enjoy!

Notes

Parbaking – I find that this helps the bottom be more solid/crispy and not soggy. Do it, or not, but simply adjust bake time at the end. 

Cheese on bottom or cheese on top? When you’re making a fusion pizza, do whatever you want. NYC/Brooklyn pizza or Chicago deep dish generally have toppings on top, but you’ll often find differing toppings wherever you go. Have fun with this one! 

Sauce mixture – the curry paste is normally mixed into a curry base like coconut milk, so spread it sparingly – the flavour will be quite strong even when lightly applied.

Since I made up this recipe (today), I doubt anyone has any family secrets for exactly this, but man I’d love to hear some variations on how to make the best pizza dough (olive oil/not, more salt/less, etc)
