18.7 grams Dried Red Chili Pepper Flakes (aka, common Pizza Pepper Flakes)
38.0 grams Mild Paprika
Combine and grind in a Coffee Grinder
Yield = 2 ounces of ~1,500 Scoville Pepper.
1,500 Scoville is the nominal heat equivalent of average dried and ground Ancho Peppers.

Avg. Scoville of Dried Red Chili Pepper Flakes = 4,000
Avg. Scoville of Mild Paprika Peppers = 300
[(18.7 × 4,000)+(38 × 300)]/56.7 = 1,520.3 Scoville
The range of Scoville for typical Ancho Pepper spans from ~1,000 on the low end to ~2,000 on the high end, with a mid-range of ~1,500.

It won't have quite the flavor of Ancho, but it will deliver the equivalent heat of Ancho.

I have been thinking about ordering some Ancho chili pepper.
Paprika may well have been heavy in the past. But it's not now and most likely an extract if anything. The use of cayenne just doesn't sit right with me. It works, but so do other substitutes. Ancho may be the gap filler here.
