Calabrian Chili Roasted Red Pepper Pizza: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza dough
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Calabrian chili paste (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel or baking sheet.
- Add Olive Oil: Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.
- Spread the Chili Paste: Evenly spread the Calabrian chili paste over the dough, adjusting the amount based on your heat preference.
- Layer the Cheeses: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the chili paste. Then, dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese on top.
- Add Roasted Peppers: Distribute the sliced roasted red peppers evenly over the cheese layer.
- Season: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, salt, and pepper over the top for added flavor.
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or pizza stone. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Garnish: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve hot. Enjoy the explosion of flavors!
