Pizza Dough

Pesto Pepper Pizza

September 3, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

Pesto Pepper Pizza is a vegetarian pizza that utilizes pesto in place of pizza sauce to give it an extra zing and is topped off with sweet peppers and mozzarella cheese.

Here is another recipe using home made pesto, (click here to be directed to my recipes for Pesto 3 Ways). For the Pesto Pepper Pizza I used Celery Pesto as the sauce. I topped it with strips of sweet red bell pepper and freshly grated mozzarella cheese. Bake until golden brown and you have a tasty pizza that you can’t put down!

Try my recipe for Pizza Dough for the Pesto Pepper Pizza or a store bought dough would work also. If you make my Pizza Dough, consider making my recipe for Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza or my recipe for Four Cheese Pizza.

Enjoy!

Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza

April 7, 2014 by Kay 10 Comments

Crispy and smoked Canadian bacon isn’t the only show stopper in this pizza recipe, the green olives make a great addition on the Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza.

As I stated last week, I am back with another pizza recipe to coincide with my recipe for Pizza Dough. So, if you have some pizza dough left or you haven’t made it yet, here is another opportunity.

My husband, Mr. B loves green olives on his pizza. I know black olives are common on pizzas, but you don’t see green olives too often on a pizza menu. If you’ve never tried green olives, I urge you to try it. It adds a nice salty note and is extremely tasty on my recipe for Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza.

Another thing that makes my Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza extra delicious is the fact that I pan fry the Canadian bacon before adding it to the pizza. It makes a big difference.

Spread the dough onto a 14" pizza pan.

Yield: 8 Slices

Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough, see my recipe for pizza dough
  • 2 tsp. Pizza Seasoning, optional
  • 1/2 - 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 12 - 15 slices of Canadian Bacon
  • 1 cup green olives, cut in half
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  • Rub your pizza pan with olive oil. Shape the pizza dough to fit the pizza pan.
  • Sprinkle the pizza seasoning over the pizza crust (optional). Spread the pizza sauce on the crust, how much you use depends on how much sauce you like on your pizza.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, pan fry the Canadian Bacon about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Place the Canadian Bacon evenly on the crust.
  • Toss the cheese evenly over the pizza. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, depending on how dark you want the top of your pizza to be. I baked mine for 20 minutes.
  • Cut the pizza in slices and serve.

Notes

You can use a store bought crust if you like, but a home made crust will taste much better.
