- Where do I get laksa paste?
- Asian grocers or the world food aisle of larger supermarkets. If unavailable, red curry paste is a good substitute.
- Can I use frozen prawns?
- Yes, but defrost and pat dry, otherwise they will make the pizza soggy.
Laksa pizza
Laksa is a cult Southeast Asian soup, whose soul is the spicy, coconut milk curry base. This pizza translates this flavour profile into solid format: instead of tomato sauce, a mix of thick laksa paste and coconut milk forms the base, topped with seafood and chicken. Exotic, creamy, spicy and fragrant – a tropical journey in every bite.

Instructions
1
✓
Prepare the toppings: fry the chicken breast cubes in a little oil until half cooked. Mix the laksa paste with the thick coconut milk into a creamy sauce.
Tip: Use the thick, creamy part of the coconut milk, not the water, so as not to soak the dough.
2
✓
Preheat the oven to 220°C.
Tip: A hot oven is a basic requirement.
3
✓
Stretch out the dough, place on the tray. Spread with the coconut-laksa base.
Tip: Fragrant, spicy base, don't need to spread too thickly.
4
✓
Sprinkle with cheese, then arrange the chicken, raw prawns and pepper strips on it.
Tip: Prawns cook very fast, so put them on raw, but the chicken needs pre-frying as it is thicker.
5
✓
Sprinkle with chilli flakes to taste.
Tip: Laksa paste can be spicy anyway, taste the sauce first!
6
✓
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the dough is golden brown.
Tip: The prawns are ready when pink and curled up.
7
✓
After baking, sprinkle generously with fresh coriander and sliced spring onion.
Tip: The citrusy note of coriander is essential for the laksa experience.
