  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 3 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
– ½ cup roasted Hatch chiles, chopped
– ½ cup pizza sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Cheesy Hatch Chile Pizza is straightforward when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

2. Prepare Pizza Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, shaping it into a round or rectangular shape.

3. Add Olive Oil: Brush the surface of the rolled-out dough with olive oil for added flavor and crispiness.

4. Spread Sauce: Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about half an inch from the edges.

5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses over the sauce, ensuring an even layer.

6. Incorporate Chiles: Distribute the chopped roasted Hatch chiles evenly across the cheese layer.

7. Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the pizza for added flavor.

8. Transfer to Oven: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

9. Bake: Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

10. Rest: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.

11. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for a burst of freshness and color.

12. Slice and Serve: Use a pizza cutter to slice the pizza into wedges or squares.
