  • 5-6 strips Chicken Bacon
  • 1 Green bell pepper
  • Pickled jalapeños
  • 1 egg
  • Pizza Sauce: 1 tbsp Olive oil 15 mL
  • 1 Shallot
  • 4 tbsp Tomato paste 60 mL
  • 1 cup water 250 mL
  • 1/2 tsp salt 0.5 mL
  • 1/2 tsp sugar 0.5 mL
  • Juice 1/2 Lemon
  • 4-5 leaves Fresh basil
  • Spicy Aioli: 7-8 tbsp Roasted Garlic Mayo
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne powder 1 mL
  • 1 tbsp Pickled Jalapeno juice 15 mL
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste

Directions

8 steps
  1. Step 1

    To make the pizza sauce, to a heated pan with olive oil, sauté a finely diced shallot.

  2. Step 2

    Add tomato paste to the pan and cook on a medium heat for 4-6 minutes or until tomato paste colour deepens.

  3. Step 3

    Pour water in the pan, along with salt & sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer on medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until liquid has reduced and sauce is thickened. Turn off the heat and add fresh basil.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the pizza dough ball into 4 equal parts. Shape each section into a ball and roll out into a circle with a rolling pin.

  5. Step 5

    On only 1/2 the rolled out dough circle, spread a layer of the pizza sauce. Add the toppings (cooked chicken bacon, diced bell pepper & pickled jalapeños) and fresh mozzarella.

  6. Step 6

    Lifting from the half of the dough that has nothing on it, close up the pizza dough pocket and seal the edges with a fork. Poke holes into the top to allow the steam to come through. Not poking enough holes will cause the pizza dough pocket to burst while cooking.

  7. Step 7

    Brush the top with an egg wash and add a sprinkle of sea salt.

  8. Step 8

    Bake at 435 degrees f for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.
