published by lanne on Jan 23, 2008

This is the pizza I only wish I could have delivered. It is smoky, delicious and easy to make.

Ingredients

Crust

  • store bought pizza dough
  • olive oil and crushed garlic mixture

Sauce

  • one 8 oz can of tomato sauce
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp basil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ to ½ tsp chipotle chili paste
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Toppings

  • chopped smoked ham
  • chopped bacon
  • sliced chorizo sausage
  • sliced fresh mushrooms
  • thinly sliced red onion
  • grated smoked mozzarella
  • grated Monterey Jack

Method

  • Roll out dough to the size you want
  • Brush on olive oil and crushed garlic mixture
  • Flip dough onto a pizza pan so that the oiled side is down
  • Brush top side with oil and garlic mix and allow to sit for 1 hour
  • Spread pizza sauce onto dough (don’t over do it)
  • Spread ½ half of cheese
  • Evenly distribute meats, onions and mushrooms
  • Spread remaining cheese
  • Bake in a very hot oven 475-500 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown

    Sounds great. Have you used a pizza stone? You sit your pizza on it and it helps to crust up the base. They are great. Plus it means if you have a hood, you can do pizza on the barbeque.
