Calabrian Chili Roasted Red Pepper Pizza: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 40 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
– 2 tablespoons Calabrian chili paste (adjust to taste)
– 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
– ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Calabrian Chili Roasted Red Pepper Pizza is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C), or the highest setting for your oven.
2. Prepare Pizza Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. If making your own, roll it out to your desired thickness on a floured surface.
3. Shape the Dough: Place the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Add Olive Oil: Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.
5. Spread Chili Paste: Evenly spread the Calabrian chili paste over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
6. Layer with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chili paste, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
7. Add Peppers: Distribute the roasted red pepper slices evenly across the top of the cheese.
8. Season: Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and pepper over the toppings for additional flavor.
9. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
10. Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired before slicing.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible pizza with ease.
