From the Test Kitchen
Chefs! We’re bringing you a series of recipes designed with ease of cooking and cleanup in mind, but without sacrificing the incredible flavors you’ve come to expect from a classic Blue Apron meal. To give this crowd-pleasing pizza gourmet flair, you’ll make a savory oil for drizzling over it all using aromatic garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. It’s the perfect finish to crisp, golden brown crust layered with a classic tomato sauce, two kinds of peppers, and briny capers.

instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 475°F. Halve the bread horizontally. In a bowl, combine the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Wash and dry the bell pepper. Cut off and discard the stem. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Roughly chop the peppadew peppers. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste.
2
Cook the sausage
In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sausage. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat.
3
Assemble & bake the pizza
Place the halved bread on a sheet pan, cut side up. Evenly top with the seasoned tomato sauce, fontina, cooked sausage, sliced bell pepper, chopped peppadew peppers, capers, and half the parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Bake the pizza 15 to 17 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the bread are lightly browned and crispy. Carefully transfer to a cutting board and let stand at least 2 minutes.
4
Make the spicy garlic oil
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, as much of the garlic paste as you’d like, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the pizza to be. Season with salt and pepper.
5
Finish the pizza & serve your dish
Cut the baked pizza into equal-sized pieces. Evenly drizzle with the spicy garlic oil. Serve the finished pizza garnished with the remaining parmesan. Enjoy!
