    • Green Chile Pizza Recipe

    Ingredients

    • Good pizza dough, we use a Neapolitan style crust.
    • Extra virgin olive oil and garlic for the sauce
    • Fresh roasted green chiles, or roasted green chiles from a jar
    • Mozzarella cheese
    • Mexican chorizo ground sausage
    • Cilantro

    Sauce

    While we have had some delicious green chile pizzas with red pizza sauce, the red sauce tends to mute the flavor of the chiles. For these flavors, we’re going with a base of garlic infused olive oil to let the chiles and chorizo shine.

    1. In a small bowl pour the olive oil. Using a fine chesse grater grate one unpeeled garlic clove into the olive oil. Stir to combine.

    Grating prevents large chunks of garlic in the sauce.

    Preparation

    To avoid the pizza from sticking to your pizza peel a few key steps are important when preparing and making your green chile pizza.

    • Dough should be room temperature. We pull our dough out at least one hour prior to cooking.
    • Be sure the pizza oven is pre-heated. In this recipe we are using the Solo Stove Pi Pizza oven with the pizza stone at 700 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • Be sure your pizza peel is well floured. We prefer making the pizza on a wooden pizza peel as it stays cooler longer than a metal one.

    How to Make Green Chile Pizza

    1. Lightly coat the pizza peel with flour. Gently form the pizza dough into an 11 – 13 inch circle on your pizza peel. Brush on the garlic olive oil.
    2. Layer the rest of the ingredients starting with the mozzarella cheese, then the green chile, then the chorizo.
    3. Gently try to move the pizza back and forth on the pizza peel to make sure it will slide off onto the pizza stone. If it does not slide, gently lift half the pizza and add more flour to peel and repeat on the other half. Once the pizza can slide on peel slide it into the pizza oven.
    4. For Neapolitan style pizza, slowly rotate the pizza with a turning peel every 7 – 10 seconds so the crust evenly cooks closest to the fire. Remove after 60 – 90 seconds when the edges of the crust are evenly cooked. Remove from pizza oven and add the cilantro.
    5. Optional: Dust the top with Maldon finishing salt and slice and serve.

    Instructions

    • Preheat Oven: Prepare pizza oven targeting the pizza stone at 700 degrees F for Neapolitan style or 550 degrees for NY Style.
    • Make Garlic Oil: In a small bowl pour the olive oil. Using a fine chesse grater grate one unpeeled garlic clove into the olive oil. Stir to combine.
    • Make Pizza: Lightly coat the pizza peel with flour. Gently form the pizza dough into an 11 – 13 inch circle on your pizza peel. Brush on the garlic olive oil (you may not use all of the oil). Layer the rest of the ingredients starting with the mozzarella cheese, then the green chile, then the sausage.
    • Prep for Baking: Gently try to move the pizza back and forth on the pizza peel to make sure it will slide off onto the pizza stone. If it does not slide, gently lift half the pizza and add more flour to peel and repeat on the other half. Once the pizza can slide on peel slide it into the pizza oven.
    • Bake: For Neapolitan style pizza, slowly rotate the pizza with a turning peel every 7 – 10 seconds so the crust evenly cooks closest to the fire. Remove after 60 – 90 seconds when the edges of the crust are evenly cooked. Remove from pizza oven and garnish with the chopped cilantro.
