Description
A delicious smoky barbecue bacon pizza that’s perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (preferably smoky)
- 8 ounces bacon, cooked and chopped
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer to a piece of parchment paper.
- Pre-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes until it’s slightly golden.
- Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the pre-baked crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the chopped bacon, then the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, and finally, the red onion slices.
- Transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) to the hot pizza stone or a baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Feel free to add other toppings like bell peppers or jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Using a pizza stone will yield a crispier crust.
- Make sure to cook the bacon until crispy for the best texture.
