Maple Bacon Pizza
The instructions below will make a couple of 12 inch round pizzas. They don’t go into making the pizza base or dough. Feel free to buy some, or make it from scratch. The real key to success here isn’t the base, it’s the topping.
Ingredients
| - 2 x 12 inch pizza bases | - 100 g tomato based pizza sauce |
| - enough baby spinach leaves | - 800 g streaky bacon |
| - ¼ of a red onion, finely chopped | - 100 g (approx) cream cheese |
| - 100 ml maple syrup | - a little bit of parmesan cheese |
Instructions
Chop the bacon into smallish bite size pieces and lightly pan fry. Don’t get too enthusiastic with the frying since you will be putting it in an oven later. Once finished, place in a bowl to drain the fat and let the bacon cool
Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees C.
Lightly oil your pizza tray and place your bases on it. spread your pizza sauce on the bases leaving a thin space around the rim.
Place the baby spinach leaves on the bases. Try to cover the area which has sauce on it.
Sprinkle the bacon in an even covering and then do the same for the onion.
Place a bunch of dollops of cream cheese artistically on the top of the pizza.
Drizzle the maple syrup across the entire pizza. Use your best judgement as to how much depending on your sweet tooth and the absorbency of the base.
Spread a little pit of finely grated parmesan cheese across the top.
Place in the oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the base is golden brown and obviously cooked.
