Creating Calabrian Chili Roasted Red Pepper Pizza is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
2. 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 lined with parchment paper.
3. Add Olive Oil: Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to create a flavorful base.
4. Spread Chili Paste: Evenly spread the Calabrian chili paste over the dough. Adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
5. Layer Toppings: Distribute the roasted red peppers over the chili paste, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
6. Sprinkle Parmesan: Add the grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
7. Season: Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the pizza for added taste.
8. Bake: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
9. Cool: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes.
10. Garnish: Top with fresh basil leaves if desired before slicing.
