Canadian Bacon Pizza

Start by preheating your oven to 475ºF. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven and get it really, really hot.

In the meantime, prepare your ingredients. Add your garlic to the oil.

Once the oven is nice and hot, place the pizza dough onto the stone. If you have a pizza peel, sprinkle a bit of light cornmeal on it, place the dough on it, then slide it onto the stone. I find this the easiest.

Cook the pizza dough for about 5 minutes. I do this with my standard oven as I like a crisper crust, plus it’s not the best oven.

After about 5 minutes, slide out the stone with the dough a bit, and prick it with a fork to remove any air pockets.

Brush the garlic oil all over the top of the dough, completely covering it. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the mozzarella cheese all over the top of the dough. Shower cheese with strips of Canadian bacon and place back in the oven and cook until the cheese is nice and bubbly and golden. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into.

Well, from first bite to last bite, it was nothing but amazing. Sure, when you think of a pizza with Canadian bacon on it, you think of the Hawaiian Pizza, the one with pineapple on it, but I’m telling you when you have a simple Canadian bacon and cheese pizza, it might just convert you from your standard cheese or cheese and pepperoni pizza. Hope you enjoy!
