    If you tend to repeat homemade pizza recipes regularly, or find yourself in a rut, then this Thai curry pizza recipe is exactly what you need for a remedy. For the best flavor, use a hearty whole wheat crust.

    What Is Curry Pizza?

    If you love curry, then you will love this Thai curry pizza. Instead of a heavy base sauce, it relies on sweet Thai chili sauce and roasted garlic for a robust and sweet flavor. Topped with fresh bell peppers, carrots, and tomatoes, the tofu is tossed in a curry sauce before adding it to the pizza.

    Once the pizza is done baking, chopped cucumbers are added on top. I know this sounds strange, but the cucumbers make the Thai curry pizza taste fresh and bright. Plus, by adding them after the curry pizza comes out of the oven just barely heats them up, rather than baking them into oblivion. Trust me on this one guys, the cucumbers make this pizza recipe.

    How To Prevent A Soggy Crust

    Since there are so many toppings on the pizza, it may become overly soggy or from the liquid. There are two important precautions you can take to improve this.

    The first is to partially bake your crust before adding the toppings. This allows the crust to crisp some in the same way that partially baking a pie crust keeps a pumpkin pie from getting soggy.

    Depending on whether you are using a pizza stone or a baking sheet can determine the amount of time needed for success. Start with three to five minutes, just long enough that the crust is no longer doughy to the touch but rather shows that it is holding shape.

    Secondly, keeping the curry sauce on only the tofu helps reduce the weight and liquid, both of which can make the pizza soggy.

    Lastly, when layering, keep the tomatoes and wet ingredients towards the top as much as possible. This helps the moisture evaporate instead of settling into the crust.

    Thai Curry Pizza Recipe

    In the process of developing this Thai curry pizza recipe, we had a lot of duds. We had one pizza that tasted so much like curry, that our brain and our mouths could not align; we would have rather just eaten actual curry. To prevent this, only add the curry sauce on the tofu as compared to all the toppings. This also keeps the pizza from getting soggy.

    This is a vegetarian pizza, but if you would like to substitute chicken for the tofu, about 6 ounces of meat cut up should do the trick! You can always change the toppings to be like the type of curry you like, as well.

    If you like it less spicy, use a yellow curry sauce, or if you like to eat Massaman curry you could use chicken, potatoes, and peanuts. Mix it up and make it your own version.


    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Happy Cooking!

      This is such an interesting recipe, Mackenzie! Putting together Thai curry and pizza is something that has never entered my mind, and I don't think I've seen any offered in any restaurant I've visited. But now that you've put the idea in my head, I'm having a "Why didn't I think of that?" moment.

      As an aside, I love how you've been organizing your recipe sections. They're eye-catching and easy to follow.

      Kudos to you! - Daisy (50WorkDays classmate)
