Instructions
Creating Green Chile Pizza is straightforward when you follow these simple 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: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza peel if using a stone.
3. Add Olive Oil: Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil to enhance flavor and create a crispy crust.
4. Spread the Sauce: Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.
6. Layer the Green Chiles: Distribute the diced green chiles evenly over the cheese.
7. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
8. Season: Add garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
9. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven (on the stone or baking sheet) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. This will make slicing easier.
11. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before serving for added freshness and flavor.
