Before starting, remove pizza dough from the fridge and rest in a warm spot for 20 minPreheat the oven to 475˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Heat Guide for Step 2: 1/4 tsp mild, 1/2 tsp medium and 1 tsp spicy! Sprinkle both sides of dough with flour. Stretch dough into a rough oval shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.) Let dough rest in a warm place for 8-10 min.
Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.Halve, peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch slices. Slice mozzarella into 1/4-inch slices, then pat dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper. Set aside. Add marinara sauce, garlic puree, 1/4 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) and 1/4 tsp chili flakes to a small bowl. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.) Season with pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside.
