2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp mashed canned chipotle chile* (from a can of chipotles en adobo)
1 tbsp chipotle juice (from can)]
1 tsp garlic
pizza dough (for one 10-inch pizza)
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
3 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Mix the olive oil, chipotle, chipotle juice, and garlic together.

Roll out pizza dough to a 10-inch circle; place on a baking sheet.

Spread chipotle topping over dough, then sprinkle with the grated cheeses.

*Chipotle chilies are a Mexican ingredient ++hot smoked jalapenos packed in a vinegary adobo sauce. They are VERY hot. A little goes a long way.
