How to Prepare Indian Tikka Masala Pizzas [Vegan]

To Make the Crust:
  1. Dissolve yeast in water in a large bowl and let sit for about five minutes until it starts to bubble. Add salt, oil and flour and mix until dough forms. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead for about five minutes.
  2. Grease a large bowl with oil and put dough inside then cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Place bowl in a warm place to rice until doubled in size.
To Make the Tikka Masala:
  1. Sauté garlic, ginger, onion, and cauliflower with oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet until onions are browned. Reduce heat and add spices, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chickpeas. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
  2. Whisk lemon juice, yogurt, and flour until smooth and stir into pan. Continue stirring until sauce has thickened. Add cilantro and cook for 1-2 minutes longer then remove from heat.
To Make the Pizzas:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
  2. When pizza dough has doubled in size, divide into four or six pieces. Dust pans or pizza stone with cornmeal and spread dough balls on top. Spoon tikka masala onto each piece and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until edges of crust are golden and center is done.
  3. Allow pizzas to cool for at least five minutes before cutting or you will lose all of your cheese. Serve hot topped with fresh cilantro.
