Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12-inch) pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 5 slices, crumbled cooked bacon
- 0.5 small, thinly sliced red onion
- 0.5 cup, crumbled goat cheese
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 large, sliced avocado
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil and evenly spread the minced garlic over it.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border for the crust.
Top the pizza with crumbled bacon and thin slices of red onion.
Carefully slide the prepared pizza, along with the parchment paper, onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for 2 minutes.
Scatter the arugula evenly over the pizza, followed by the crumbled goat cheese and avocado slices.
Drizzle the pizza with balsamic glaze and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your Ultimate California Moon Doggie Pizza!
