Instructions

1. Preheat oven with pizza stone to 500 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour.
2. Bring pizza dough to room temperature.
3. Heat the hot peppers in a frying pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes and set aside. The peppers should become soft and limp.
4. Prepare no-cook pizza sauce:
5. Mix tomato paste and sauce in a medium-sized bowl until smooth.
6. Add seasoning ingredients (oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, garlic salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and sugar).
7. Stir sauce until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside. (Do not cook)
8. Spread out the pizza dough on a floured surface so it fits on the pizza stone.
9. Add one soup ladle of pizza sauce to the center of the spread-out dough and spread evenly. Do not apply sauce to the outer border of the dough to form the crust.
10. Evenly sprinkle the cheese mix (mozzarella, cheddar, and gouda) over the sauce.
11. Evenly sprinkle the chopped bacon over the cheese.
12. Slice the preheated hot peppers in half, remove the seeds, and chop coarsely.
13. Evenly spread the sliced peppers over the bacon.
14. Carefully place the pizza on the cooking stone using a pizza peel.
15. Cook for 12 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly browned.
