Ingredients

• 2 lemons
• basic pizza dough
• olive oil (as needed)
• 2 jalapenos, seeds removed and thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, seeds removed and thinly sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1 8-oz. bag shredded Italian 3 or 6-cheese blend
• 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F.

After grating 1 teaspoon of peel from 1 of the lemons, remove any

remaining skin and pith (the white part) from lemon. Peel off skin and pith from other remaining lemon, then slice off both ends from lemons and thinly slice. Remove any seeds and set aside.

Print out Pizza Dough recipe and follow the "Basic Pizza Dough" recipe instructions. After dough has risen once, manually flatten the dough on a lightly floured work surface and form into a 12-inch-round crust. Cover with a light towel and allow to rise for about 20 minutes or more.

Once dough round has risen, gently brush with olive oil and sprinkle with the grated lemon peel. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat enough oil to coat the pan over medium heat. Add lemon slices, jalapenos, bell pepper and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer sautéed mixture to pizza dough, evenly arranging over the top. Spread cheese evenly over the top of ingredients then sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and outer crust turns light golden and appears crisp. Slice and serve.
