Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough
- 1 cup tandoori sauce
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, etc.)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 jalapenos, chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure a crispy crust.
- Prepare the jalapeno cream sauce by combining sour cream, finely chopped jalapenos, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a thin, round shape approximately 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a pizza pan or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the tandoori sauce evenly across the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Chop the mixed vegetables into uniform, small pieces. Distribute the bell peppers, onions, and other vegetables evenly over the tandoori sauce.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the vegetables, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbling.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set.
- Drizzle the prepared jalapeno cream sauce over the pizza in a zigzag pattern.
- Slice the pizza into 8 equal wedges and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet for an extra crispy crust that mimics professional pizzeria results.
- Chop vegetables into uniform, small pieces to ensure even cooking and balanced flavor in every bite.
- Let the jalapeno cream sauce sit for 10-15 minutes before drizzling to allow the flavors to intensify.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or green onions after baking.
- If you prefer less heat, remove the jalapeno seeds before chopping to reduce spiciness.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve that perfect golden-brown crust and melted cheese.
