FAQ
What type of rice should I use for sushi pizza?
For the best texture and flavor, use short-grain sushi rice. It’s sticky and will hold together well when baked.
Can I make sushi pizza ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sushi rice and toppings in advance. However, it’s best to assemble and bake the sushi pizza just before serving for the crispiest texture.
Can I make a gluten-free version of sushi pizza?
Yes! Simply use gluten-free soy sauce and ensure that the nori sheets are gluten-free.
What can I substitute for tofu in the vegan sushi pizza?
If you don’t like tofu, you can substitute it with grilled tempeh, chickpeas, or another plant-based protein.
How can I make the sushi pizza crispy?
The key to a crispy sushi pizza is baking the sushi rice at a high temperature (around 180°C / 350°F) for about 10 minutes until it turns golden. The nori sheet helps hold everything together.
