Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 500°F with a pizza stone inside for at least 30 minutes to mimic wood-fired heat.
Step 2: Roast 2 medium poblano peppers under the broiler or over an open flame for about 5 minutes per side, until the skin blisters and chars; place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for 10 minutes, then peel, seed, and slice into thin strips.
Step 3: Roll out 12 oz pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle; transfer to a pizza peel or inverted baking sheet dusted with flour.
Step 4: Brush 2 tbsp olive oil evenly over the dough, then scatter 2 cloves minced garlic evenly, followed by 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 5: Distribute the roasted poblano strips evenly over the cheese and crumble 4 oz goat cheese on top.
Step 6: Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 7: Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 8: Remove from oven and sprinkle 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves on top before slicing and serving.
