I make pizza just about every week. The Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza dough is just way too convenient. The first time I made this pizza I made it with olive oil and garlic as the sauce. I stretched the dough too much so ended up making a mini pizza. Since my S.O. loves barbecue anything, I made his with barbecue sauce. Both pizzas turned out delightful but the barbecue was *fantastic*!
Ingredients:
Pizza dough
barbecue sauce (I used Trader Joe's Kansas City)
2 Jalapeno, diced
1 small yellow onion, sliced
Garlic, minced
Bacon, cooked and chopped into bite size pieces
Pepper Jack cheese (~1 cup shredded)
Knead the dough and form it onto the pan. I usually cook the dough for 5-7 minutes at 400 degrees before putting the ingredients on (but the directions this is not necessary). I think the crust comes out more sturdy. Be sure to poke some holes in the dough first so that it doesn't bubble up!
While that's in the oven, saute the onions, jalapeno and garlic in the same pan you cooked the bacon in. Saute until they are wiggly. Next, spread a nice thick layer of barbecue sauce across the dough. Follow the sauce with the onion, jalapenos, garlic and bacon. Top with shredded cheese. I go light on the cheese but load up if you like it more cheese-y. Pop it back in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melty. No flakes needed on this one---it was hot enough with the jalapeno peppers!
