Everyone in my house is big into pizza, so making pizza is always an easy choice if I just don’t have much time. As today is one of those days (I really shouldn’t even be writing this right now), I decided to go with pizza and salad. We have been knocking around the idea of wheat crust. I have yet to make any on my own. I usually make my crust and sauce from scratch and lately I have been grating cheese rather than buying it grated. It’s a personal preference thing as I have this deep dislike for fancy shredded cheese (the real thin grate they sell in the store).
Tonight, on the pizza menu we opted for brown sugar ham, peppered bacon, banana peppers and three cheeses. I wanted pepperoni but Dom was hip on the items listed so I let it go this time. Normally, I have to have pepperoni, but I really like this combination on pizza so I knew I could manage.
Pizza Recipe
1 Store Prepared Wheat Crust (Recommended: Boboli) – If you can make your own crust, by all means do it. I normally do, but was skimping on time tonight.
½ Cup Pizza Sauce (Again, if you have to buy it, choose the best brand, otherwise make it from scratch – I will be adding recipes for homemade sauce shortly)*
¼ Cup Feta Cheese
¼ Cup Monterey Jack
½ Cup Mozzarella
1/4 Cup Julienne Brown Sugar Ham
1/4 Cup Crumbled Cooked Peppered Bacon
¼ Cup Banana Peppers
Cracked Black Pepper to taste
Preparation is fairly simple. Remove crust from package and place on pan (or roll out your crust and pat it down on the pan accordingly). Cover the crust with sauce. Feel free to use more or less sauce than I have added. It’s really important to add what you like.
Add Monterey Jack cheese and half of your bacon, peppers, and ham. Add your feta and Mozzarella. Now add remaining toppings and some cracked pepper over top to taste. If you have picky eaters, add certain toppings to one side of pizza and other toppings to the other side rather than making two pizzas.
Put in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes. How long you keep it in is based on how done you like your pizza. Keep in mind; if you are using homemade crust the cooking time will be different.
I am not going to add the recipe for the salad. I mean, it’s what I like to call a toss it all in salad. I added some tomato, olives, ham, pepperoni, cheese, banana peppers, and dressing.
Now that you know what I had for dinner, what was on your plate?
