This is a delicious pizza. It’s got homemade Italian pork sausage, pepperoni, green peppers and bacon.

Basically a pork lovers pizza with freshly chopped green peppers. I put mozzarella cheese on the pizza sauce. Chopped up some fresh green pepper, then the pepperoni and sausage followed by Colby jack cheese and bacon bits. Bake for 18 minutes at 450 degrees (F). I am also including the recipe for the crust below.

1 cup hot water (105-110 degrees F)

1 TBSP active yeast (not rapid rise)

1 TBSP granulated white sugar

3 -3 1/2 cups all purpose flour ( do not use self rising)

1 TBSP olive oil ( you can use vegetable oil if you want)

1 tsp salt

In a large mixing bowl add yeast and sugar then add water. Allow yeast to activate, it will look foamy, about 5 to 10 mins. Add oil salt and flour, mix with a spoon until a lightly firm dough all forms. Use hands to knead the ball until not sticky, add flour if needed. You can use right away or if you want you can let it rise 10 to 20 minutes. Put flour on you counter top and press out by hand until almost the size of your pan. Transfer to baking pan stretching to the correct size. Add sauce and toppings.

This will make 2 thin crust pizzas or 1 hand tossed/thin pan crust pizza.

Let sit 5 minutes after coming out of oven, cut and enjoy.

    Ok not extremely healthy, it’s pizza after all. But you can make this gluten free as well as vegetarian if you’re really concerned about that. The worst part is the carbs from the crust if you ask me. But hell YOLO.

        Neither am I. I like to experiment with my cooking.

        My wife tells me I should have been a chef and still recommends me to open a little cafe/restaurant. My problem is I turn 53 on Monday and don’t feel like entering a business venture at this age since I won’t really be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor this close to retirement age.
