Ingredients

  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella
  • ½ cup cooked shredded chicken
  • ¼ cup carrot grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro for garnish after baking
  • 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts chopped

For the sauce:

  • ¼ cup peanut butter smooth
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic grated

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to the highest possible temperature (mine goes up to 550°F/290°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well. (if you want to bake your pizza on a sheet pan or in the air fryer, see the instructions in the recipe below).
  • Make the sauce, in a bowl combine all of the sauce ingredients and whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle the pizza peel with semolina to prevent the dough from sticking, then shape/stretch your dough gently with your hands into a 10 or 12-inch circle. Before adding any toppings, make sure that the pizza can slide off onto the pizza stone easily. If not, just lift it up gently and sprinkle with more semolina. Don’t push the dough too hard, and start working it from the center. Leave the edges puffed up for a great pizza shape and bubbles.
  • Spread ¾ of the peanut sauce on the crust, top with mozzarella cheese, chicken, carrot, and green onions.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes, then switch on the broiler and bake for 3-5 more minutes but keep an eye on it as the top bubbles and browns.
  • Drizzle with the remaining peanut sauce, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, and crushed peanuts. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Add Olive Oil: You can brush the edges of the crust with olive oil if you’d like to get them extra browned and tasty. Sprinkle the crust with a small amount of garlic salt for an extra treat!
  • Shape the Dough By Hand: Avoid using a rolling pin to make your pizza. The pressure from the pin will deflate the dough and you won’t get the bubbles and pockets of air that you want. Be sure to leave the dough thicker on the edges to create a nice pizza crust.
