If you’re already a fan of our Cheesy Chilli Toastie, you’re going to be obsessed with our Cheesy Chilli Pizza. It’s just as delicious as picking up the phone to order from a restaurant, for a fraction of the time and cost!
We’ve prepared our crispy pizza base with a surprise ingredient: home-baked Naan Bread! It takes around 45 minutes to prove your dough to perfection, but the effort is so worth it. You’ll only need a short, budget-friendly list of store cupboard ingredients to rustle it up and there’s not a bit of yeast in sight.
Cheese and chilli has to be one of our all-time favourite flavour combos. We’ve paired gooey Gouda cheese with a base sauce made from a blend of mildly fiery chilli powder, fresh red chillies and tomatoey passata. Not to mention the finishing sweet chilli drizzle! You can always turn the heat down by adding less chilli powder, if you’d prefer – it will still be one of the best pizzas you’ve ever had at home.
What diets is this Cheesy Chilli Pizza suitable for?
Cheesy Chilli Pizza can be enjoyed on vegetarian diets, as long as you substitute Gouda cheese for a veggie-friendly alternative.
If you’re cooking for people with allergies, be extra careful when checking ingredients and preparing food!

Step 1
Sift the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the yoghurt. Using your fingertips, gradually draw the flour into the yoghurt, mixing to form a ball of soft dough.
Step 2
Place the dough on a lightly-floured surface and knead well for 5 minutes, until the dough forms a smooth ball. Lightly grease a large bowl with a little low-calorie cooking spray. Place the dough in the greased bowl and cover with a plate.
Step 3
Place in a warm place for around 45 minutes, until the dough has increased slightly in size and feels slightly puffy when pressed. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and roll out into a 28cm round. Line a large baking tray with a sheet of non-stick baking paper. Place the dough base on the lined baking tray.
Step 5
Place the passata, tomato puree, chilli powder and garlic granules in a small bowl. Season with salt and black pepper and mix well. Spoon over the pizza base and spread out evenly, leaving a 1cm gap around the edge.
Step 6
Sprinkle the Gouda cheese evenly over the tomato sauce. Scatter over the spring onions and red chilli. Place in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until golden.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and drizzle over the sweet chilli sauce. Sprinkle the coriander leaves on top, cut into 10 slices and serve at once. Serve with a crisp mixed salad or other accompaniment of your choice.
