Ingredients:
-
For the Pizza:
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade, if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices or your favorite pizza toppings (optional: sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1–2 teaspoons Mad Dog 357 Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce (adjust to taste)
-
Optional Garnishes:
- Fresh basil leaves
- Red pepper flakes (for extra heat)
- Drizzle of honey (to balance the heat, optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it heats up for the best crust results. If not, a regular baking sheet will do.
-
Prepare the Pizza Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. For a crispier crust, roll the dough thinner; for a more doughy, chewy pizza, leave it a bit thicker. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper or directly onto your baking sheet or pizza peel if you're using a pizza stone.
-
Create the Scorpion Hot Sauce Pizza Base: In a small bowl, mix 1–2 teaspoons of Mad Dog 357 Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce with your pizza sauce. Be cautious with the amount of hot sauce you use—this is potent stuff! Start with less, as you can always add more later. Spread the spicy pizza sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
-
Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce-covered dough. If you’re adding additional toppings like pepperoni, sausage, or veggies, spread them evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
-
Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top of the pizza. This will help the toppings crisp up nicely and add a subtle richness to balance the heat of the Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce.
-
Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven or pizza stone. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on the pizza to avoid burning—if you’re using a thin crust, it might cook faster.
-
Finish with Extra Heat: Once the pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for a minute or two before slicing. If you’re a true heat lover, drizzle a little extra Mad Dog 357 Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce over the top for an added kick. For a balanced flavor, you can also drizzle a bit of honey over the pizza to complement the intense heat.
-
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness, and sprinkle on red pepper flakes for extra heat if desired. Slice your pizza, serve, and prepare for a fiery, flavor-packed experience!
The beauty of this pizza is that it’s fully customizable. You can stick with the classic pepperoni, or mix in other toppings like spicy sausage, jalapeños, or roasted vegetables.
