Sweet Pepper Pizza With Three Cheeses Recipes

THREE-PEPPER PIZZA

Steps:

• Roll out the dough into a 12 inch round and lay the dough on top of a lightly greased pizza pan.
• Lightly brush the dough with the olive oil and spread the tomatoes evenly on top, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
• Lay the cheese slices evenly over the tomatoes.
• Scatter the bell peppers and sausage evenly over the cheese.
• Sprinkle with half of the oregano and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake at 450 degrees F until the bottom of the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with remaining oregano.
• Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into slices and serve.

PIZZA WITH SWEET AND HOT PEPPERS

Steps:

• Prepare the pepper mixture: Place peppers, onion, jalapeño, garlic and oil in a mixing bowl. Season well with salt and toss to distribute seasoning, then set aside.
• Heat oven to 500 degrees and place a baking stone or heavy baking sheet on middle rack.
• Shape the dough: Pat 1 dough ball to a flat disc, lightly dust both sides with flour and stretch by hand to a 10-inch diameter. Alternatively, lightly dust dough with flour and roll out with a pin. Place dough circle on a parchment-lined rimless baking sheet (or use a rimmed baking sheet turned upside down, or a pizza peel).
• Sprinkle each pizza evenly with 2 ounces of grated cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top each with 4 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella. Arrange the pepper mixture over the cheeses and dot each pizza with 2 ounces of sausage meat in very small pieces. Sprinkle with a pinch of marjoram.
• To bake, quickly slip the pizza, still on the parchment, onto the baking stone. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until dough is well browned and pepper mixture is slightly charred in spots. Use a large spatula to remove pizza from oven, discard parchment and place on a large cutting board. Garnish with basil leaves and cut into slices.
