Spicy meals used to harm my abdomen, however now I can’t get sufficient of them. I’m at all times craving spice and the extra the higher. That is excellent news for my husband who likes to eat spicy meals. His spice tolerance is on one other stage. As soon as he instructed me that some spicy chips weren’t that spicy, so I ate ONE and suffered for the following half-hour making an attempt to get my mouth to chill down. In brief, his stage of ‘not that spicy’ is everybody else’s stage of ‘holy crap I’m going to die’ spicy.
We’re Attempting To Recreate An Superior Plant-Primarily based Spicy Habanero Hell Pizza
We frequently discover meals we like after which I spend plenty of time making an attempt to recreate it. Often, it’s a non-vegan meals that I want to show right into a plant-based meals, however this time it’s a full-on plant-based meals that I need to recreate – a scrumptious spicy pizza made by some plant-based pizza specialists.
If you’re considering following us making an attempt to make the right spicy plant-based Greek-style pizza, then this collection might be for you!
This all began when our native plant-based pizza joint referred to as Die Pie made a Habanero Hell pizza for Halloween. It’s a particular pizza and their specials solely final about two weeks or so.

We tried it, and this pizza is now our favourite pizza on the planet. I can say that with certainty.
Even earlier than we went vegan, I’ve by no means had a pizza I loved as a lot as this one.
Due to Die Pie, gone are the times of peppers, onions, and mushrooms (our outdated standby). Now we’re extra inventive with our pizzas and revel in pizza that is stuffed with taste and deliciousness.
It might be wonderful if Die Pie would put the Habanero Hell pizza on their menu (it will be an awesome spicy addition) however I do know that it’s only a particular. That’s why I have to discover ways to make it. My husband and I need to eat it year-round.
So we went out to purchase all of the issues we thought we would have liked for it…
However there have been no habaneros on the shops we went to.
And we forgot to purchase grape tomatoes.
And we couldn’t discover any crimson onions.
And we forgot to purchase basil.
And I didn’t plan forward and make plant-based feta.
So, our first try at their Habanero Hell pizza was with out the habaneros, tomatoes, feta, basil, and crimson onions. In different phrases, not likely their pizza.
That mentioned, it got here out actually good. We used a mixture of Thai and Serrano pepper within the tomato sauce.
As you possibly can see on the Scoville scale, they’re each not as sizzling because the Habanero pepper is. In reality, the Thai pepper appears to be half as sizzling because the Habanero pepper!
How We Made Our First Spicy Pizza
Sorry, this isn’t going to be your typical recipe-style publish. However, I’ll attempt to make it as clear as potential.
First off, I don’t have a pizza dough recipe. I simply throw in some yeast, sugar, and water and let that get foamy. I’d say I do equal elements yeast and sugar after which possibly a cup or two of heat water. Then I add some flour, salt, and a bit little bit of olive oil and blend it up in my Kitchenaid mixer with the dough hook. I add extra flour or water as wanted from that time. As soon as carried out, I let it rise for no less than an hour or two earlier than I take advantage of it.
I did write down the sauce components, although, as a result of I do know that is going to be a course of and I need to know precisely what I’ve tried within the spicy pizza sauce earlier than.
The sauce I tried regarded like this:
- One can of diced tomatoes (796 ml)
- 1/2 can of tomato paste
- Two Thai peppers
- One Serrano pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
I blended that each one up collectively in a meals processor after which added it to 1 tbsp of olive oil that was sizzling in a pot as if I used to be going to sauté some greens. I feel olive oil within the pot is only a behavior. I’ll attempt with out it subsequent time.
I turned down the warmth to only below medium and let that prepare dinner and simmer for about 40 minutes till it thickened up. Then I let it sit for just a few hours on the range.
Notes:
- The sauce wasn’t that spicy to start with, however after it had sat for just a few hours, it received a bit spicier. The subsequent day it was about twice as spicy, so if we had been to make this sauce once more, we might make it the day earlier than to permit the flavors to combine up and get spicier.
- It was too candy. I assumed that sweetness would complement the spiciness, however I discovered it too candy. The spicy sauce is sweet on the pizza, although. However, to eat it by itself, it’s simply as candy as it’s spicy to me. For those who like candy, then that will be just right for you! However for me, I’m going to place in half subsequent time and see what that does.
To make the pizza, I put the spicy tomato sauce on the dough together with the white onions, tapenade, and Miyoko’s common mozzarella cheese. I debated leaving the tapenade off and placing it on the pizza simply to prepare dinner for a minute, however I made a decision to depart it on. It ended up being positive on the pizza the entire time it was cooking.
I cooked it at 450 levels F till the crust regarded a bit brown, after which I broiled it till the cheese regarded a bit a bit brown. I don’t time this stuff. I am going by sight and scent.
As soon as it was out of the oven, I threw on the contemporary cucumbers and we reduce it up and ate it. And it was actually good.
We each ended up placing extra tapenade on our slices, however aside from that, we ate it identical to this. The sweetness of the sauce was positive while you put it with all the opposite components. However, nonetheless, subsequent time I’m not going to make it as candy.
And the sauce was not on the stage of spicy that we needed. It had a tiny bit of warmth, however it was not like on Die Pie’s pizza the place we needed to drink water proper after. We are going to hold making an attempt till we get it good, although, beginning with utilizing habaneros!
Additionally, we plan on roasting the peppers at one level and taking part in with another components as we go ahead to see what that does to the flavour.
Till then, it is a actually good plant-based pizza with a bit spice. For those who make the spicy sauce a day forward of time, it’s going to present extra of a kick because the flavors will enhance.
