THREE-PEPPER PIZZA WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• If the dough has been refrigerated, transfer it to the countertop to let it rise for about 1 hour before making pizza.
• Preheat the broiler with the rack set 5 inches from the element or flame. If you are using a cast-iron skillet or griddle pan for the pizza, set it over medium-high heat until it gets smoking hot, about 15 minutes. Transfer the skillet (turned upside down) or griddle pan to the broiler. If you are using a baking stone, heat it in a 500°F oven for an hour, then carefully transfer it to the broiler.
• To shape the dough, dust a work surface liberally with flour and put the ball of dough on it. Sprinkle with flour and knead a few times until the dough comes together and holds its shape when you form it into a ball. Add more flour if necessary. Form it into an 8-inch round by pressing from the center out toward the edges, leaving a 1-inch border thicker than the rest.
• Make sure you have all the topping ingredients measured out and ready before you assemble the pizza, because once you place the dough on the cooking surface you can't easily move it.
• Open the oven or broiler door, and quickly slide out the rack with the cooking surface (skillet, griddle pan, or baking stone) on it. Pick up the dough and quickly transfer it to the cooking surface, pressing it back into shape if need be, while being careful not to touch the cooking surface with your fingers.
• Spread the red pepper chutney on top of the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch margin. Scatter over the goat cheese pieces and pickled anchos.
• Broil the pizza for 3 to 5 minutes, until the crust has puffed up around the edges and blackened in spots.
• Remove the pizza with a wooden or metal peel or a square of cardboard, transfer it to a cutting board, and let it rest for a few minutes. Scatter the arugula on top, drizzle it with a little oil, cut it into quarters, transfer it to a plate, and eat.

• Lay the cheese slices evenly over the tomatoes.
• Scatter the bell peppers and sausage evenly over the cheese.
• Sprinkle with half of the oregano and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake at 450 degrees F until the bottom of the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with remaining oregano.
• Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into slices and serve.
