Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Santa Fe-style sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen), drained if necessary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your preference. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to create a crispy base.
Spread the Santa Fe-style sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about 1 inch around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the sauce.
Distribute the crumbled bacon, red onion, green bell pepper, and corn kernels evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If using a pizza stone, slide the pizza onto the preheated stone for a crispy crust.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top for a fresh touch.
Optional: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Santa Fe Bacon Pizza!
