Meat Lover's Pizza
Using the Roots Pizza Dough and a Meat Lover's Kit, this is a guide to putting it all together.
Servings: 1
Equipment
- Pizza Stone, Peel, Cast Iron Skillet, or Sheet Tray
- Sharp Knife
- Spoon
- Rolling Pin (if needed)
Ingredients
- 10-11 oz Roots Pizza Dough If using the Roots Malt Dough, cut in half.
- 5 fl oz Roots Pizza Sauce
- 2 ½ oz Pepperoni
- 3 ½ oz Crumbled Roots Sausage
- 3 oz Cooked, Chopped Bacon
- 8 oz Shredded Mozzarella
- dash of for serving, as desired: greek oregano, grated parmesan, crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- If using a pizza stone, preheat oven to 400 F and preheat the stone 30-45 minutes prior to cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- About 15 minutes before you'd like to start prepping your pizza pull your dough from the refrigerator and let it proof a bit at room temperature. Remove the dough from the Roots bag and cut in half and let it sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. The longer it sits, the easier it will be to work with but the less sweet the dough will taste.
- Roll out the dough ball to a 12-inch round or to your preferred shape. See recipe video for tips on rolling out and shaping pizza dough.
- Assemble the pizza. Spread the pizza sauce over the rolled out dough. Add the crumbled sausage, then pepperoni, then the bacon. Sprinkle all of the mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Transfer the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is a golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly, 1-2 minutes, before slicing.
- Slice & Serve: Carefully slice the pizza on a cutting board. Slice into 6-8 pieces if using strips or slices.
Notes
Pizza Kits are packaged to work with a 10-11 oz. dough ball. The Roots Dough package is 22 oz. or enough for two pizzas or pizza kits.
