• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon chili oil
• 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper

1. If you are using homemade pizza dough, make it according to the recipe instructions. If you are using store-bought dough, remove it from the packaged and shape it into a 12-inch circle. Spray your pizza pan with non-stick spray and dust lightly with flour and gently transfer the dough to your prepared pizza pan.
2. Adjust the rack to the lower middle of the oven and preheat to 475ºF.

5. Drizzle the chili oil over the top and sprinkle with red pepper. Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

*½ pound of store-bought pizza dough can be used instead **If you like an extra kick of heat, try mixing 1 tablespoon of chili oil into the marinara sauce before spreading it over the crust.

Ingredients:

• 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 pinch white sugar
• ¼ cup flour for dusting
• 2 cups pizza sauce
• 20 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
• 20 leaves fresh basil
• olive oil
• sea salt to taste

Directions:

1. Step 1 Stir flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Set aside.
2. Step 2 Mix water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand until yeast begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
3. Step 3 Stir half the flour mixture into yeast mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When dough pulls together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
4. Step 4 Lightly oil a large bowl, then place dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Punch dough down, divide into 4 equal pieces, and form each into a ball.
5. Step 5 Preheat oven with a pizza stone to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
6. Step 6 Stretch out and pat 1 dough ball to form a circle 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Place dough on a lightly floured pizza peel. Top with 1/2 cup of tomato sauce and spread to cover within an inch of the edge of the dough. Arrange 5 slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the tomato sauce, then place 5 basil leaves on top. Drizzle pizza with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt to taste. Repeat for 3 remaining dough balls.
7. Step 7 Slide each pizza onto the pizza stone in the preheated oven. Bake until cheese is bubbly and the underside of the crust is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
