Description
A pizza recipe featuring the flavors of jalapeno poppers, including cream cheese, bacon, and jalapenos.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup pickled jalapeno slices, drained
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing (optional, for drizzling)
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- Lightly dust a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal. Stretch or roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness and place it on the prepared surface.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Spread the cream cheese evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the cream cheese layer.
- Distribute the crumbled bacon and drained jalapeno slices evenly over the cheese.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven. If using, drizzle the ranch dressing over the top.
- Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier pizza, use fresh jalapenos instead of pickled ones.
- If you prefer a thinner crust, roll the dough out thinner before assembling.
- You can substitute Monterey Jack cheese for cheddar if you like a milder flavor.
