Ingredients
  

  • Pizza Dough Ball - recipe of your choice or store-bought

Peanut Pizza Sauce

  • ½ Cup Peanut Butter - chunky
  • ½ Cup Hoisan Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut Milk
  • 1 Tbsp Fish Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Chili Sambal (or Sriracha)
  • 2 tsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Ginger - grated
  • 1 Tbsp Honey

Cheese

  • 6-8 Slices Provolone Cheese - thin, round slices

Pre-Cooked Chicken Meatballs

  • ½ Lbs Ground Chicken
  • 2 tsp Coriander Seed
  • 1 Tbsp Fennel Seed
  • 1 Tbsp Dried Dill
  • 2 tsp Black Peppercorns
  • 1 Star Anise
  • ½ tsp Mace
  • 1 piece Cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp Chili Flake
  • 2 Tbsp Oil

Garnish

  • ½ Carrot - julienned
  • ½ Red Bell Pepper - julienned
  • Chives - chopped
  • Mint Leaves - cut or torn

Instructions
 

  • For the Chicken Meatballs -- Combine all seasonings in a spice grinder and grind. Mix desired amount into the chicken, combine well, and form into pizza-sized meatballs (bite-sized/small.)
  • Heat a cast iron skillet (medium heat or slightly back from the fire.) Swirl a tablespoon or two of oil in the pan, add meatballs, and cook until browned. Stir frequently. Note: chicken does not need to be cooked all the way through (or it will overcook in the oven later.) Set aside to cool.
  • For the peanut sauce -- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Set aside. (It will be thick.)
  • Press and stretch your pizza dough out into a 10" pie.
  • To assemble -- Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the dough (like pizza sauce.) Top with a single layer of cheese slices to cover the sauce. Scatter the meatballs around the pizza.
  • Bake in the pre-heated, wood-fired oven for 2-3 minutes at 600-650 degF+. (If baking in a home oven, bake at 500 degF on a pizza stone or pizza steel for about 6 minutes, or until the crust is crispy.)
  • Remove the pizza from the oven, and top it with the carrots, peppers, and chives for color and crunch. Sprinkle mint leaves over the top as a garnish. Slice and enjoy!
