Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/3–1/2 pound ball of pizza dough
- Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
- 1/3 cup marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons crushed Calabrian chili paste
- 1 jar (16 ounce) roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Honey, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450° F.
- On a lightly floured surface, push the dough out until it’s thin (about a 10-12 inch circle). Transfer the dough to a baking sheet. Lightly brush the crust with olive oil, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Spread the marinara sauce and then the chili paste over the dough. Arrange the roasted red peppers on top. Add the fish sauce, if using, then sprinkle over the oregano. Add the mozzarella and provolone cheeses.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and top with a pinch of dried oregano, then drizzle with honey. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of Calabrian chili paste to your preferred spice level.
- Fish sauce adds a depth of umami but can be omitted for a vegetarian version.
- Drizzling honey balances the heat with a touch of sweetness.
