Preparing Curry Pizza
Preheat your kitchen oven to approximately 500 degrees.
Roll out the dough to either slightly smaller than your pizza stone (if you have one) or on a metal tray for the kitchen oven.
Alternatively, if you have a pizza oven, roll out to be smaller than your pizza peel.
First, spread the sauce around. This pizza calls for Curry Sauce. Spread the Curry Sauce evenly using the back of a large spoon or the blunt side of a knife.
You should start by adding the largest ingredients, then work your way down. The last is any cheese topping, such as Mozzarella, which you should evenly cover the other toppings with, and then finally any herbs.
The toppings to include on this pizza are;
- Cheddar
- Assorted Toppings
This pizza is good on its own, or why not with other pizzas as well?
Cooking
Put the Curry pizza on the middle shelf in oven, and wait ten minutes.
After 10 minutes, open the door and check the pizza.
This pizza should take approximately 15 minutes, however allow it to cook to personal taste.
About Cheddar
Originating from the English village of Cheddar, Cheddar cheese is a natural off-white cheese made from Cow’s milk, that is fairly firm in texture. Young cheddar has a milder taste, which becomes sharper the longer it cures before consumption.
Cheddar is probably the most widely popular cheese on the planet, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries. The technique to make Cheddar is known as cheddaring, which is the cheesemaking style that results in a dense, layered texture.
Pizza Tools
When making Curry Pizza, I always recommend that you use whatever kitchen items you have. My basic pizza tools are…
Pizza Peel
A pizza peel aka paddle is a crucial tool for those who are making pizza often.
Pizza Cutter
The one kitchen tool every adult should have in their drawer. See our article on how to cut pizza for the various cutting tools.
Rolling Pin
Yes, I know, many people swear by hand stretching, however there’s times in all our lives where we need a good wooden roller.
Vegetables
Add your favorite vegetables, and try a mix that you haven’t used before.
Exploring toppings is a fun way to enjoy pizza and the art of creating them.

Pizza making FAQ
Hope to make fantastic pizza at home? Here are some expert answers to some of the most Frequently asked questions.
Can I substitute pizza sauce with regular ketchup or pasta sauce?
You can try, however you probably won’t enjoy the result. Both ketchup and pasta sauces are typically too runny to use as pizza sauce. You are better using tomato paste, or at least mixing tomato paste in with your ketchup, to get a thicker sauce. Half the taste of pizza sauce is in the garlic and herbs, so don’t forget to add those as well.
How many slices are in a pizza?
A typical pizza has either 6, 8 or 12 slices, depending on the size and who cuts it up.
How do I prevent dough from sticking to my kitchen bench?
I also recommend a good amount of flour or polenta to be dusted on surfaces. Polenta, having a larger, rounder grain, is perfect to put on your pizza peel or paddle, to slide the pizza on and off easily.
