BLT Pizza
BLT Pizz From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 35 minutes.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), or according to package directions for pizza dough.
Place bacon in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and fry until browned, but not crisp.
Stretch pizza dough out over a pizza stone, pan, or cookie sheet.
Brush the dough with olive oil.
Spread the shredded mozzarella over the crust, and arrange the tomatoes over the cheese. Chop bacon, and sprinkle evenly over the pizza.
Bake pizza for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the crust is golden and cheese is melted in the center. While the pizza is in the oven, toss the shredded lettuce with mayonnaise, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Top the finished pizza with the dressed lettuce, and serve immediately.
Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio
Italian works really well with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. The Spalletti Chianti Reserve Poggio Reale with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
