Japanese Tempura pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses Quick Meals
A meeting of two worlds: soft, cheesy pizza and crisp Japanese tempura. The secret lies in the textures: the pizza is baked, while the vegetables are flash-fried separately in ice-cold batter, meeting only at the moment of serving. This way, the batter doesn't get soggy but forms an extra crunchy layer on the pizza.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread sauce on the dough, sprinkle with cheese, and bake the 'base pizza' (approx. 12-15 minutes).

Tip: The base must be fully baked by the time the tempura is ready.
2 ✓

Meanwhile, heat oil in a pot to approx. 170-180°C.

Tip: If you drop a little batter in and it immediately rises to the top sizzling, the oil is ready.
3 ✓

Mix the tempura flour with the ice-cold water. Mix only loosely, lumps are fine!

Tip: If you overmix, the gluten structure in the flour strengthens and the batter will be chewy instead of crisp.
4 ✓

Cut the vegetables into thin strips, dip into the batter, and fry until golden brown in the hot oil. Drain.

Tip: Don't put too much in the oil at once, as it cools it down and the vegetables will absorb the oil.
5 ✓

Remove the pizza from the oven, pile on the fresh tempura, sprinkle with sesame seeds and coriander. Serve immediately.

Tip: Eat immediately while the batter is crisp!

Recipe FAQ

Why do I need ice-cold water for the batter?
The meeting of cold batter and hot oil prevents the dough from absorbing oil, making it light and crisp.
What vegetables should I use?
