  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 16 minute

Ingredients

– 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

– Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

Creating your own Calabrian Chili Roasted Red Pepper Pizza is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
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.
3. Add Olive Oil: Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.
4. Spread the Chili Paste: Evenly spread the Calabrian chili paste over the dough, adjusting the amount based on your heat preference.
5. Layer the Cheeses: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the chili paste. Then, dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese on top.
6. Add Roasted Peppers: Distribute the sliced roasted red peppers evenly over the cheese layer.
7. Season: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, salt, and pepper over the top for added flavor.
8. 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.
9. Garnish: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve hot. Enjoy the explosion of flavors!

By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible pizza that reflects the rich culinary traditions of Italy.
