Fiery Meatball Garlic Pizza

This was an attempt to recreate my favorite pizza from a certain Kurdish pizzeria I used to visit years ago (and 6000 miles from where I'm living right now).

Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough
- semolina
- 8 oz (200 g) tomato sauce
- 4 oz (100 g) mozzarella
- 10 oz (250 g) ground beef
- salt
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2 serrano peppers (finely diced)

First mix the ground meat with 1 clove crushed garlic, salt, and 1 serrano pepper, shape into small meat balls and fry in a pan. While the meat balls get done roll out the pizza dough with semolina. When the appropriate size place in baking pan on baking paper. Spread out the tomato sauce on the pizza, then add the rest of the garlic (crushed) and the other serrano pepper, the meat balls and finally some mozzarella. Bake at 400 F (200 C) for about 15 minutes.

Turned out pretty good - the taste was good, but I might have like the cheese a little more spread out over the whole pizza.
