Today is National Pizza Day. Did you know that? I didn’t but I see absolutely no reason why the glorious, cheesy, deliciousness that is pizza shouldn’t be celebrated throughout the nation. To acknowledge such a awesome dish I’ve created three more unusual pizza recipes, combining my love of pizza with my love of other world cuisine.
For the base, I’ve used Sweetpea Pantry’s Playful Pizza Dough Mix. Sweetpea Pantry use only wholegrains in their mixes and this one is also packed with chia and flaxseed. You can find out loads more about the Sweetpea Pantry range in a previous post. If you’d like to try their pizza mix for yourself check out my giveaway below.
The beauty of pizza is you can literally add anything you want as a topping (I’m pretty keen to try a sweet pizza in the future post so stay tuned for that) but here’s how I put together these world food inspired options:
Chinese Pizza
- Replace regular passata sauce with hoi sin for a more asian style pizza base then add:
- Pre-packed sweet chilli beef
- Crushed garlic
- Finely chopped ginger
- Spring onions
- Sliced red chilli
- Halved sugarsnap peas, edamame beans or Chinese greens
- Cheddar Cheese
- Add a teaspoon of curry powder to the usual passata sauce for the base, then add:
- Pre-packed tandoori chicken breasts, sliced
- Crushed garlic
- Sliced red chilli
- Red onion
- Spinach, wilted
- Fresh mango, cut into small chunks
- Dried or fresh coriander
- Cheddar Cheese
- Crushed poppadoms for sprinkling on after cooking
- Add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the passata sauce, then add:
- Lamb mince, cooked in a little oil and fresh mint
- Sliced red peppers
- Falafel
- Crumbled feta
- Small amount of cheddar to help melt everything together
- To serve, drizzle over some yoghurt mixed with chopped fresh mint and why not use houmous as a dip?
I hope you enjoy these slightly more unusual pizza ideas. For more recipes, check out my weekly food feature.
