    How to Make Aglio, Olio & Peperoncino Pizza

    1. Broil the Crust

    Set your broiler to high. Place your parbaked pizza crust under the broiler and watch it closely to achieve a lightly golden hue, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the broiler once done.

    2. Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the surface of the broiled pizza crust.

    3. Scatter Garlic and Chile

    Scatter the thinly sliced garlic evenly across the crust, followed by a sprinkle of sliced red finger chile or serrano chile.

    4. Garnish with Parsley

    Sprinkle the fresh Italian parsley leaves over the pizza.

    5. Cut and Serve

    Cut the pizza into six slices using a pizza cutter or knife, and serve immediately.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Use Quality Ingredients

    Select the finest olive oil, fresh garlic, and authentic Italian peperoncinos or quality red chili flakes to ensure the best flavor in your Aglio, Olio & Peperoncino Pizza.

    Perfect Your Dough

    Make your own dough with high-protein bread flour and let it ferment for at least 24 hours in the fridge for flavor and gluten structure, or use a high-quality store-bought dough.

    Preheat Your Oven

    Preheat to the highest setting, using a pizza stone or steel to mimic a traditional pizza oven and achieve a crispy yet chewy crust.

    Slice Garlic Paper-Thin

    Slicing garlic thinly ensures quick, even cooking, and prevents burning, infusing the pizza with its aromatic flavor.

    Infuse the Olive Oil

    Warm olive oil with garlic and peperoncino on low heat to meld their flavors, creating a rich, infused oil that will enhance the pizza.
