Pizza Peruana

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses
Peruvian cuisine (Cocina Novoandina) is world famous for its ability to fuse. This pizza marries the treasures of the Andes – 'Aji Amarillo' yellow chilli and coriander – with Italian tradition. Aji Amarillo is not only spicy, but also fruity and berry-flavoured, which gives a unique character to tomato sauce.

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Make the dough, and prove in a warm place for 1 hour.

Tip: During long proving, yeast fungi produce carbon dioxide, which creates the airy structure of the dough trapped in the elastic gluten network.
2 ✓

Mix the Aji Amarillo paste with the tomato sauce.

Tip: Chilli capsaicin is soluble in fat and alcohol, but the acidity of the tomato also helps to highlight its flavour.
3 ✓

Roll out the dough, spread with the chilli sauce, scatter over the cheese, and bake at 220-250°C for 12-15 minutes.

Tip: The phenomenon of 'oven spring' takes place in the first 5 minutes: gases in the dough expand suddenly from the heat, before the crust hardens.
4 ✓

Serve immediately after baking topped with sliced avocado and fresh coriander.

Tip: Avocado enzymes and vitamins are heat sensitive, so it is healthiest and tastiest raw.

Recipe FAQ

What is Aji Amarillo?
A Peruvian yellow chilli variety, moderately hot and fruity tasting. If you can't get it, mix a little chilli with apricot jam to imitate the taste.
Why do you put the avocado on afterwards?
Because heat makes it turn bitter and lose its creamy texture.
