Treat your ingredients with care...
- Thai chili — Adjust the amount of Thai chili according to your spice preference. For a milder version, remove the seeds before slicing.
- Thai basil — Use fresh Thai basil leaves for the best flavor. If unavailable, regular basil can be used as a substitute.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle some lime juice over the pizza before serving.
- Customize the toppings to your liking by adding other Thai ingredients such as shrimp, Thai basil, or Thai eggplant.
- If you prefer a spicier pizza, add more Thai chili or sprinkle some chili flakes on top.
- To make the crust even crispier, preheat a pizza stone in the oven and bake the pizza directly on the stone.
- Experiment with different Thai-style sauces, such as sweet chili sauce or peanut sauce, for a unique twist.
Serving advice
Serve the Thai-style Padellino Pizza hot, straight from the oven. Cut it into slices and enjoy it as a main course or share it as an appetizer during gatherings. Pair it with a refreshing Thai iced tea or a cold beer to complement the flavors.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, garnish the pizza with additional fresh Thai basil leaves and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. The vibrant colors of the toppings will make the pizza visually appealing and inviting.
