A recipe for Mochi Pizza from the cookbook, Cooking with the CrunchBros! A flour and mochiko-based crust is covered with favorite toppings and baked until crisp.
Servings 2 Pizzas
Ingredients
Dough:
- 1/2 cup (63 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (160 grams) mochiko
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 3/4 cup (175 milliliters) water
Toppings:
- 6 tablespoons (90 grams) pizza sauce, (90 grams) marinara sauce, (90 grams) ketchup, or (90 grams) BBQ sauce
- 1 1/2 cups (175 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese or your favorite cheese blend
- Any additional desired toppings such as vegetables or cooked meats
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients for the dough to a large mixing bowl and mix until fully combined, about 5 minutes or until smooth.
- Shape into 2 even balls.
- Oil a pizza tray or cookie sheet.
- Flatten out the dough on the cookie sheet. Try to make it as thin as possible for a crispier crust. The thicker it is, the more chewy it will be.
- Prebake the dough at 450˚F (230˚C, or gas mark 8) for 5 minutes.
- Take the dough out of the oven and add the sauce, mozzarella cheese, and desired toppings.
- Bake again at 450˚F (230˚C, or gas mark 8) for 10 minutes or until the bottom is crispy.
- Note that after baking, the center of the pizza dough will look almost translucent. Don't worry, it's not raw- it's mochi.
