Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 medium Fresh chili, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the dough.
In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, fresh chili, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the bruschetta topping.
Spread the tomato mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the bruschetta topping, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Carefully transfer the pizza (still on the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top, if desired, for an extra spicy kick.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chili Bruschetta Pizza!
