Instructions

Step 1: Preheat wood-fired oven or pizza stone to 700°F (or highest oven setting). Dust a pizza peel or baking sheet with 1 tbsp cornmeal.
Step 2: On a floured surface, stretch 1 lb pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer dough onto the cornmeal-dusted peel.
Step 3: Brush dough edges with 2 tbsp olive oil mixed with 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 4: Evenly spread 1 cup shredded Manchego and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheeses over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
Step 5: Distribute 6 oz sliced spicy chorizo sausage and 1 cup sliced roasted red bell peppers on top. Sprinkle 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes over the pizza.
Step 6: Slide pizza onto the hot stone or into the wood-fired oven. Bake for 6-8 minutes until crust is charred at edges and cheese is bubbly and golden.
Step 7: Remove from oven, let rest for 2 minutes, slice, and serve immediately.
