Making Jalapeño Popper Pizza is a fun and rewarding process. Follow these straightforward steps to create your masterpiece:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using 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 lined with parchment paper.
3. Mix the Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
4. Spread the Cheese Mixture: Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
5. Add Jalapeños: Scatter the sliced jalapeños evenly over the cheese mixture, adjusting the amount based on your preferred spice level.
6. Add Green Onions: Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top for added flavor and freshness.
7. Top with Mozzarella: Add a generous layer of mozzarella cheese on top of everything for that perfect melty finish.
8. Brush the Crust: Lightly brush the edges of the crust with olive oil to enhance browning and flavor.
9. Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven or onto the hot pizza stone. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
10. Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. This cooling time will help the cheese set slightly, making it easier to slice.
11. Slice and Serve: Use a pizza cutter to slice your Jalapeño Popper Pizza into wedges and get ready to enjoy!
