Jalapeno Popper Pizza
- 3- 3/4 cups Bread Flour
- 2- 1/2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
- 3/4 teaspoons Table Salt
- 3/4 teaspoons Sugar
- 1-13 cup Room Temperature Water
- 1 whole Pizza Dough, Shaped Into Your Desired Circumference And Thickness
- 6 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Room Temperature
- 1/2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 whole Jalapeno Peppers, Roasted, Skins Peeled And Discarded, Sliced
- 1 whole Pizza Stone, Optional
- Note: The pizza dough recipe makes enough for 3 large sized pizzas.
- The toppings in the above list are enough for only one pizza.
- For the dough: In a large bowl combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
- Mix.
- Add the water, and with your wooden spoons, or hands, mix until blended.
- I use my KitchenAid mixer for this process to keep everything in the bowl during the rising process.
- Mix for about 30 seconds.
- The dough should be a bit stiff.
- Cover the bowl with a towel, and let it sit at room temperature until the dough has doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
- Once risen, divide dough into three portions.
- Add a sprinkling of flour to a large pastry board and put one of the dough portions on top.
- Start rolling it out into your desired pizza shape.
- If you are adventurous, try tossing the pizza, to get your desired thickness.
- Preheat your oven to 500 F with the pizza stone inside.
- When oven is preheated carefully place the shaped pizza dough into the oven on the preheated pizza stone, and bake for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the pizza stone from the oven, then smear the cream cheese over the top of the crust, leaving about an inch border.
- Top with the cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese, then arrange the sliced jalapeno peppers over the top.
- Place it back into the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until the crust is nice and golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into it, then dig in.
- When you first bite into it, you get that surprise from the cream cheese base, and it has that richness to it.
- But when you get that paired with the roasted jalapeno peppers, well, then it all comes together.
- This is a real treat, and one slice will do you just fine.
- Hope you enjoy.
