Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Vietnamese Fusion
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 cup pickled carrots
- 1 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, sliced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
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.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to create two thin, round pizza bases, approximately 12 inches in diameter.
- Brush each pizza dough with sesame oil, ensuring even coverage to enhance flavor and promote golden browning.
- Spread hoisin sauce evenly across the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Arrange sliced cucumber and pickled carrots uniformly across the pizza surface, distributing them for balanced coverage.
- Place the prepared pizzas into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and crispy.
- Remove pizzas from the oven and immediately garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and thinly sliced jalapeño for added brightness and heat.
- Let the pizzas cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve immediately while hot and crisp.
Tips
- Preheat for Perfection: Make sure to preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and, if you have one, place a pizza stone inside. This ensures a perfectly crispy crust that’s golden brown and delicious.
- Roll It Right: When rolling out your pizza dough, aim for a thin and even base. This will help achieve that delightful crunch while allowing the toppings to shine.
- Oil It Up: Brushing the pizza dough with sesame oil not only adds a rich flavor but also helps to achieve that beautiful golden color during baking. Don’t skip this step!
- Layer Smartly: Spread the hoisin sauce evenly, but leave a small border for the crust. Distributing your toppings evenly will ensure every bite is bursting with flavor.
- Fresh is Best: For the freshest taste, use crisp vegetables and herbs. Adding the cilantro and jalapeño right after baking keeps them vibrant and adds a refreshing crunch.
- Slice and Serve: Allow the pizzas to cool for a few minutes after baking. This helps the toppings settle and makes slicing easier. Serve them hot for the best experience!
