Tip:
For a crisper crust, slide prepared pizza onto an oven rack in the bottom third of the preheated oven. Place cookie sheet directly under pizza on a separate oven rack. When the pizza is cooked, slide from oven rack onto a cookie sheet and remove from oven. Cook for a shorter time, only until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Hot peppers cause severe skin and eye irritation. Wear rubber gloves when handling hot peppers and avoid touching any exposed skin.
