A flavorful and spicy twist on a classic pepperoni pizza featuring roasted garlic, fresh jalapeños, creamy ranch drizzle, and melted mozzarella cheese for a perfect balance of heat and creaminess.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 12-inch HRI Classic Pepperoni Pizza

Roasted Garlic

  • 6 garlic cloves, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Toppings

  • 1 jalapeño, sliced
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C) to prepare for roasting the garlic and baking the pizza.
  2. Roast Garlic: Toss the halved garlic cloves in olive oil, then place them in the center of a sheet of aluminum foil. Fold the foil to create a sealed packet with a small air pocket. Place the foil packet in the oven and roast for 15 minutes until the garlic becomes soft and fragrant.
  3. Prepare Pizza: While the garlic roasts, remove the 12-inch classic pepperoni pizza from all packaging and lay it on a clean surface ready for toppings.
  4. Add Toppings: Once the garlic is roasted, carefully unwrap the foil and add the roasted garlic cloves, sliced jalapeños, and mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza surface.
  5. Bake Pizza: Place the prepared pizza directly onto the oven rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Finish with Ranch: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle the ranch dressing over the top to add a creamy, cooling contrast to the spicy jalapeños.
  7. Serve: Cut the pizza into squares and serve warm. Enjoy the spicy, garlicky, and creamy flavors all in one bite!

Notes

  • Adjust jalapeño quantity to control the level of spiciness.
  • Roasting garlic softens and sweetens its flavor, enhancing the pizza’s taste.
  • If you prefer more spice, consider adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for the best melting results.
  • Serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.
