Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425.
- 2
Combine 1 cup of flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl.
- 3
Add water and oil to the dry ingredients, and mix for about a minute until it’s all blended.
- 4
Add remaining flour slowly until a soft dough ball is created. Your dough will be a little sticky.
- 5
Knead on a floured surface for about 4 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- 6
Pat the dough to fill a greased pizza pan of your choice. I like to make personal pan pizzas just on a baking sheet, but do whatever you prefer! This should be enough for two big personal pan pizzas or to fill up one pizza pan .
- 7
Mix all the ingredients together in a small pot. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for a few minutes to combine all the flavors together. Taste it.

If you want it sweeter-add more sugar, more spicy-add more chili garlic paste, more sour-add more tamarind paste, saltier-add more fish sauce. Be very careful with adding in more fish sauce because it’s easy to add too much and overpower the rest of the ingredients. Don’t be afraid to use it, but just take it easy when adding it. Add more water if you want to thin it out more.

Spread garlic cloves on top of the crust. Then add the sauce on top. I just have a thin layer of it, but if you like your pizza saucier, feel free to add more. I also recommend leaving some to drizzle on top after you take out your pizza from the oven.

Add the chicken, cheeses, onions and peanuts on top of the sauce.
- 11
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes on your middle rack until the crust is browned and cheese is bubbly.

Sprinkle cilantro on top of the pizza, and drizzle on some leftover pizza sauce if you want. In Thailand they eat any kind of pizza with ketchup drizzled on top, so feel free to try that too.
