Making Jalapeño Popper Pizza is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
2. Prepare Pizza Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. If using a pre-made crust, follow the package instructions.
3. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Spread Cream Cheese: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Add Cheeses: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the cream cheese layer.
6. Add Bacon and Jalapeños: Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon and sliced jalapeños on top of the cheese layer.
7. Brush Olive Oil: Lightly brush the edges of the crust with olive oil for a golden finish.
8. Bake Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven (or on the heated pizza stone) and bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Cool and Slice: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges.
10. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before serving for an added burst of flavor.

By following these steps, you’ll create a Jalapeño Popper Pizza that’s as delicious as it is visually appealing!
