Preheat oven to 500°F for at least 1 hour before baking. If using a pizza peel, allow the peel to heat up in the oven for at least 30 minutes before baking on it.

Stretch out your dough onto a pizza peel dusted with flour. If you don’t have a peel, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the crust with the bagel seasoning, if using

Spread a thin layer of the Colavita crushed tomatoes on top of the dough.

Drizzle with 1 tbsp Colavita olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and slices of jalapeno.

Slide your pizza from the peel onto the stone in the oven (or place the baking sheet in oven) and bake for 8-10 minutes (individual ovens will vary, so keep an eye on your pie!), until the crust is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and slide onto a cutting board.
