HOW TO MAKE A PEACH AND BACON PIZZA

Step 1 – Preheat. Preheat a cast iron skillet or pizza pan in the oven at 500°F.

Stretching pizza dough for peach and bacon pizza — Step 2 – Stretch the Dough. If possible, let dough rise in a warm spot for 1 hour. Stretch into a large round or divide into two smaller rounds. Spray a little olive oil on preheated cast iron or pizza stone and add dough.

Assembling peach and bacon pizza with toppings — Step 3 – Assemble the Pizza. Spray the edge of the crust lightly with oil. Spread pizza sauce evenly in the center, sprinkle with mozzarella, then layer on bacon and peach wedges.

Baked peach and bacon pizza fresh from the oven — Step 4 – Bake. Bake at 500°F for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.

Finishing and garnishing peach and bacon pizza — Step 5 – Finish & Garnish. Top with fresh basil and crushed pistachios. Slice and enjoy — drizzle with balsamic glaze or hot sauce if desired.

De-licious!

The Perfect Pizza Setup

Want to make restaurant style pizza at home? I’ve got you covered! Here are some of my top tips, tricks, secret ingredients and tools for a pizza night everyone will look forward to, again and again.

NEVER do this… Contrary to what most people believe, when baking pizza on a sheet pan, never add toppings to raw pizza dough. Instead, follow my recipe for making homemade pizza with ready made dough, which will teach you how to par bake pizza dough first.
Get help from secret ingredients…
– This dough seasoning is the secret to real Italian-tasting homemade pizza dough.
– Add pizza seasoning to store bought pizza sauce. This makes the pizza taste really fresh!
Herbs are for after… In my weekly pizza making practice, I’ve found that fresh herbs, like basil, need to be added to pizza after the pizza is done baking (so the herbs don’t wilt).
Buy fresh dough and get amazing results. Yup, fresh dough from grocery stores is one of my favorite short-cuts. Learn how to use fresh Trader Joe’s pizza dough and Whole Foods pizza dough with my tutorials.
Frozen pizza can taste amazing, too!! Learn how to spruce it up with this recipe for pizza using frozen crust.
Slice pizza pies like a chef with just a few swipes, using big ol’ pizza cutters.
Want to grill pizza? Here are some pizza grilling tools to check out.
Do you really need to cook pizza on the rack? Nope! I basically never do. Here are tools you see me using in my tutorials on cooking pizza in the oven…
– Bake pizza on a rimmed baking pan set to get a beautiful golden brown crust.
– Love crispy crust? Let the air flow with this dishwasher safe pizza pan.
– Get personal – let your fam / friends top their own pies with this set of personal pizza pans.
