Equipment

Ingredients

1 pizza dough
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
⅓ cup fresh mozzarella cheese Torn into small balls or strips
¼ cup ground Mexican chorizo Pre-cooked
¼ cup roasted green chile
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

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.

Notes

Preparation:

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.

Finishing: Add a touch of Maldon or other type of finishing salt and then slice.
