Instructions
My dough needed to sit out to rise for 15 minutes. Do what your dough says to do) and preheat oven according to it's package, mine was 400°
Start making sauce by adding all sauce ingredients and tofu into a pot and stir together under lowest heat. Just to take some of the bite out of the garlic.
Chop all pizza toppings remembering to keep an eye on the sauce. Stir so as not to burn.
Spread dough out on a baking sheet and top with sauce (with tofu in it) and add all toppings, reserving ¼ cup of cilantro
Bake until pizza crust is golden brown. Mine baked for 20 minutes. Once it's done, top with remaining cilantro.
CHOW DOWN!
Notes
Use crunchy peanut butter: For more texture than creamy.
For meal prep: When making the sauce in advance, heat it before adding it to the crust to bake.
Make it spicy: If you like your Thai flavors with a little spice, add a bit of Sriracha, red pepper flakes, or diced fresh chili to the sauce or simply drizzle it over the top just before serving.
Use a pizza stone: If you have one this makes an ultra-crispy crust!
