Instructions
Creating Sweet and Salty Apple Bacon Pizza is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for success:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat. If using a baking sheet, lightly grease it with olive oil.
3. Roll Out the Dough: If using homemade dough, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to your baking sheet or pizza stone.
4. Add Olive Oil: Brush the pizza crust with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.
5. Layer the Cheese: Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the crust.
6. Arrange the Apples: Evenly distribute the thin apple slices over the cheese layer.
7. Add Bacon: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the apples.
8. Finish with Cheese: Add the remaining mozzarella cheese and any goat cheese or feta, if using.
9. Season: Lightly season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for added flavor, if desired.
10. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
11. Garnish: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme.
12. Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges.
By following these steps, you will create a mouthwatering Sweet and Salty Apple Bacon Pizza that is sure to impress!
