This is a delicious pizza. It’s got homemade Italian pork sausage, pepperoni, green peppers and bacon.

Basically a pork lovers pizza with freshly chopped green peppers. I put mozzarella cheese on the pizza sauce. Chopped up some fresh green pepper, then the pepperoni and sausage followed by Colby jack cheese and bacon bits. Bake for 18 minutes at 450 degrees (F). I am also including the recipe for the crust below.

1 cup hot water (105-110 degrees F)

1 TBSP active yeast (not rapid rise)

1 TBSP granulated white sugar

3 -3 1/2 cups all purpose flour ( do not use self rising)

1 TBSP olive oil ( you can use vegetable oil if you want)

1 tsp salt

In a large mixing bowl add yeast and sugar then add water. Allow yeast to activate, it will look foamy, about 5 to 10 mins. Add oil salt and flour, mix with a spoon until a lightly firm dough all forms. Use hands to knead the ball until not sticky, add flour if needed. You can use right away or if you want you can let it rise 10 to 20 minutes. Put flour on you counter top and press out by hand until almost the size of your pan. Transfer to baking pan stretching to the correct size. Add sauce and toppings.

This will make 2 thin crust pizzas or 1 hand tossed/thin pan crust pizza.

Let sit 5 minutes after coming out of oven, cut and enjoy.

    That looks delicious. I have a suggestion you might try next time: grease the pan with a Tbsp or two of olive oil (not extra virgin) or vegetable oil before putting the dough in the pan. I think it would work well as long as your dough doesn’t have much gluten development, which means it doesn’t spring back much when you stretch it. The oil does make it harder to get the dough to go to the edges of the pan, but if you keep working with it, it should still work. I got the method from this Chicago style pizza recipe that I’ve used many times:

    It adds a crispy, fried kinda texture to the crust. And we all know pizza needs more fat in it ;)
