Today I made us a pizza for dinner - here’s the good, the bad, and the ugly!!
1. Homemade pizza dough - 1 c flour, 1tsp yeast, 1/2 c water, 1tsp salt etc
2. Plain old canned tomato sauce with two cloves garlic, a lot of Tabasco, some brown sugar, some hot honey
3. 4 slices of bacon chopped up, sautéed with 1/2 a good sized onion. Drained after cooking.
4. Shredded pizza mozzarella in a bag, and a hand full of mini bocconcini
Flattened the dough out to about 12-14 inch pizza. Spread the sauce on thickly while hot and this may have been my downfall. Spread the bacon and onions all over. Topped with a layer of mozzarella, not too thick. Then bocconcini. Then a full layer of pepperoni entirely covering the pizza!
Heated my pizza stone in a 550° convection oven.
It was great but the dough didn’t really cook much on the bottom. The top was crispy and beautiful but the bottom was not great.
The combo of the sautéed bacon/onion mixture, the sweet and spicy sauce and the cheese and pep - probably the best pizza I have ever made (if the crust had cooked properly)!!
Billy loved it, he agreed the flavour was exceptional!! Good thing it was a thin crust!
And didn’t take a picture!!
