Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 pizza dough Pizza Dough Forms the crispy base; roll it out thin for that perfect crunch.
For the Peanut Sauce
  • ¾ cup Peanut Butter Provides rich creaminess; feel free to swap with almond butter for a different nutty flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar Adds a zesty brightness; apple cider vinegar works well in a pinch.
  • 1 tablespoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce Offers essential saltiness without overpowering; tamari is a great gluten-free alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Helps emulsify the sauce while enhancing flavors; extra virgin for quality!
  • ¼ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes For a kick of heat; adjust according to your spice preference.
  • 1 tablespoon Freshly Grated Ginger Brings aromatic warmth; ground ginger can be used in lesser amounts.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Sweetens the sauce perfectly; maple syrup is a lovely vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil Adds a delightful nutty aroma; can be omitted if you don’t have it on hand.
  • 2 tablespoons Water Thins the sauce to your desired consistency, allowing it to spread smoothly.
For the Toppings
  • 2 cups Cooked, Shredded Chicken A filling protein; rotisserie for quick prep or tofu for a vegetarian twist.
  • ½ cup Chopped Onions Introduces a satisfying crunch; green onions are great for milder flavor.
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrot Provides color and sweetness; remember to squeeze out any excess moisture before using!
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Melts beautifully for a gooey finish; try dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
  • ¼ cup Fresh Chopped Cilantro Adds a burst of flavor after baking; optional for those who prefer not to use it.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Thai Chicken Pizza with Peanut Sauce
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve a crispy crust. Prepare your ingredients while the oven warms up.

  3. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch diameter for a crispy base. Place on a greased baking sheet.
  4. Spread the peanut sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border for crust.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded chicken, chopped onions, and shredded carrots over the sauce.
  6. Distribute shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  8. Remove from oven, garnish with cilantro, slice, and serve warm.
