PESTO & BACON PIZZA image

Categories     Bake     Dinner     Pizza     Basil

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pkg Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza dough
mozzarella cheese, sliced into thin rounds - to taste
fresh goat cheese - to taste
1/4 cup pesto sauce (preferably homemade)
pitted kalamata olives, sliced - to taste
4 slices bacon
1 sweet onion, sauteed with a few sprigs of thyme until just turning brown
1 lb crimini mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp chopped Italian parsley
fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon
1/4 cup grated Parrano cheese
sea salt - to taste
fresh ground pepper - to taste

Steps:

  • Mushroom Salad: Wash & slice mushrooms. Toss with olive oil and lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and parsley and grated Parrano. Cover and refrigerate. Cook bacon until crispy, chop into bits when cool. Saute onions with thyme and set aside. Assemble pizza: spread thin layer of pesto over pizza dough with the back of a spoon. Distribute mozzarella rounds evenly over the dough, then add the kalamatas and mushrooms to taste (eat the rest of the mushrooms as a salad - delicious!). Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees, remove from oven and distribute evenly the sauteed onions and bacon bits. Using a fork, scrape goat cheese evenly over the pizza, to taste. Bake 3-5 minutes longer until cheese is bubbling and crust is firm and beginning to brown.

The pizza was a bit undercooked. I think I'll cook it for more time next time.

The pizza was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll use less oil next time.

The pizza crust was too thick and doughy for my taste. I think I'll use a thinner crust next time.

I added some red pepper flakes to the pesto sauce for a little extra spice. It was delicious!

I used a pre-made pizza crust to save time and it worked out great. The pizza was still crispy and flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I loved this pizza. The bacon and cheese really balanced out the flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. The pizza was cooked evenly and the cheese was melted and gooey.

The pesto sauce was so flavorful and creamy. It paired perfectly with the salty bacon and crispy crust.
