A few weekends ago, I made a pizza for Joe that was so damn good, we Hoover’d it back like we were Tazmanian devils. Seriously, we gobbled it down so fast, I didn’t even think about taking a photos until the last bite was in my belly.
And since Joe declared it the “best effin’ pizza” he’s ever had in his life, I knew I would be making it again very soon, and very often. This one is going into the regularly made meals rotation. I made it again last night - for Joey’s mommy - and this time I remembered to take photos of them for you, my pretties! Enjoy.
Dough: I tend to buy large Lebonese flatbreads that I can cut up into squares when I can; but when I can’t, I buy the premade pies in pizza kits. Both will work beautifully.
Sauce: Any sauce you like. (I hate marinara sauce, so I always use whatever pasta sauce we have on hand.)
Cheese: I used a pre-shredded blend of mozzarella and cheddar for a lovely flavour balance.
Layers: Thin layers of sauce, cheese, bacon, cheese, tomato slices, cheese on top of the bread or shell.
Update: Just got an email from Joe’s sister. They loved the pizza. Declared it better than their beloved Pizza Hut version they like to get at least once a month one town over. And they raved about this bread crust. Cool.
Gawd, my husband would LOVE this. Did you fry the bacon first?
But of course, silly woman!
Hey , some people have to have EVERYTHING pointed out to them. Actually, it didn’t LOOK fried..then again I fry mine to almost black:)
funny, i hate marinara, too!
I fried each side for about 3 minutes. I left some of the cooking for the oven, but for the most part, it’s cooked enough to eat or toss on a pizza.
