Sweet and Spicy Pizza

All four of us LOVE pizza! If you love pizza, and you love spicy, then this pizza is for you. 


What You'll Need...

1 Pizza Crust (1/4 to 1/2 of a homemade pizza dough recipe.)
Panda Express Sweet Chili Sauce
Spicy Cheese (Our favorite is Hot Jalapeno and Habanero Jack)
Your Favorite Spicy Seasoning (We like "Slap Ya Mama" Cajun Seasoning)
Deli Ham (Optional)
Pineapple (Optional)

If you're you want to make your crust from scratch this is our favorite recipe. 

Pizza Dough 
1 Packet Active Dry Yeast
1 Teaspoon Sugar
1 1/2 Cups Hot Water
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 
3 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
2 Teaspoons Salt

Add the water, sugar and yeast to a mixing bowl and allow the yeast to bloom. Make sure that the water is hot, but not too hot. Too hot or too cold and the yeast won't activate. 

Once the yeast has bloomed at the oil, flour, and salt. Mix to combine and then knead until smooth and elastic. This will take at least 5 minutes of kneading. 

Coat the mixing bowl with oil or cooking spray, place the bowl back in, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise for at least 1 hour. 

When the dough has risen and you're ready to use it punch it down once to get the extra air out and divide the dough into 2, 3, or 4 balls. It all depends on how big you want your pizzas to be. 

Pizza
Pre-heat your oven to 450 F

On a greased pizza pan or baking pan press your dough out into your desired pizza shape and thickness. We like a thinner, crispier pizza! 

Once the dough is pressed out spread the Sweet Chili Sauce and then later on the cheese. Sprinkle your favorite spicy seasoning on top of the cheese. After the seasoning top the pizza with as much or as little ham and pineapple as you like. This pizza is also great as a spicy cheese or spicy chicken pizza. You can also use your favorite regular pizza cheese as well, but the spicy cheese gives it more of a kick. 

Place your pizza in a 450 F oven and allow to bake for 12 - 17. The bake time all depends on how you like your pizza. The longer it stays in the crispier the crust will get! 

Remove the pizza from the oven, slice, and enjoy!
