Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound refrigerated pizza dough
Coarse cornmeal, for dusting
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
Kosher salt
1/2 cup spicy marinara sauce
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 2 ounces)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
2 jalapeno peppers (red and/or green), thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Put a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425° for 1 hour. Meanwhile, bring the pizza dough to room temperature. Sprinkle a 15-inch round pizza pan with cornmeal.
  • Mix the cream cheese, ½ cup pepper jack and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium bowluntil combined.
  • Stretch the dough almost to the edge of the pizza pan, pressing with your fingertips (lightly oil your hands if the dough is too sticky). Spoon the cream cheese mixture in a thin border around the edge of the dough, about ½ inch from the edge. Fold the edge of the dough over the cream cheese mixture and pinch to seal.
  • Put the pan on the hot stone and bake until the crust is lightly golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, spread the sauce in the middle and top with the mozzarella and the remaining ½ cup pepper jack. Brush the crust with olive oil and top with the jalapeno slices. Bake until the crust is browned and crisp and the cheese is bubbling, 8 to 12 more minutes.

JALAPENO POPPER PIZZAS-PAMPERED CHEF

I have made these a few times & always get rave reviews from my husband and friends. Add more jalapenos if you like them super spicy. The sauteeing & the cream cheese tend to mellow the heat of the jalapenos. I leave the seeds & membrane on the jalapeno to maximize on the heat. ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Prepare the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients ready. Chop the jalapeños, grate the cheese, and gather any other toppings you desire.
  • Choose the Right Dough: You can use pre-made pizza dough or make your own from scratch. If using pre-made dough, let it come to room temperature before stretching it out.
  • Stretch the Dough Thin: Use a rolling pin or your hands to stretch the dough into a thin circle. The thinner the dough, the crispier the pizza will be.
  • Use Quality Cheese: Opt for a good quality mozzarella or a blend of cheeses for a flavorful pizza. Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pizza: When adding toppings, avoid overloading the pizza as this can make it soggy. Use a moderate amount of toppings to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Bake at a High Temperature: Preheat your oven to a high temperature, usually around 450°F (230°C) or higher, to achieve a crispy crust and melted cheese.
  • Watch the Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the pizza while it bakes. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the dough and the amount of toppings. Remove the pizza from the oven when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the Pizza Cool: Before slicing and serving, let the pizza cool for a few minutes. This allows the cheese to set and the flavors to meld together.
