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

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the cream cheese layer.
  5. Distribute the crumbled bacon and drained jalapeno slices evenly over the cheese.
  6. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove the pizza from the oven. If using, drizzle the ranch dressing over the top.
  8. 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.
