Ingredients
- 8 to 10 ounces prepared pizza dough (any preferred style), room temperature for at least 1 hour
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- ⅓ red apple, unpeeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 to 4 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon, to taste
Preparation
- Preheat the pizza oven with the pizza stone on the rack to 700°F.
- Stretch the pizza dough to a 10- to 12-inch round.
- Transfer the dough to the pizza peel generously dusted with flour.
- Scatter the onion over the dough, followed with the apple, blue cheese, and then the bacon.
- Gently shimmy the pizza on the peel to ensure it isn’t sticking. If the dough is sticking, gently lift the dough and spread additional flour underneath.
- Set the timer for 5 minutes. Slide the pizza off the peel and onto the pizza stone. Start the timer.
- When the timer sounds, check the pizza. If baked to desired doneness, use the peel to remove the pizza from the oven, or bake for 1 to 2 more minutes. Slide the pizza onto a cutting board. Slice and serve.
