Canadian Bacon, Onion & Spinach Pizza

A few days ago I posted the best pizza dough I have ever had the pleasure of making, then consuming. Today I am posting the wonderful pizza toppings I chose to have on top of it!! This was a deliciously wonderful and filling pizza and I can't wait to make another. This was going to be a Hawaiian Pizza but in my genius when I wrote what I needed at the store Pineapple did not make the list, so it quickly turned into a more savory pizza. I personally like to top this with some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat but it is delicious without it!



Canadian Bacon, Onion & Spinach Pizza: 8 Slices

1 Pizza Dough Recipe
1/2C Tomato Sauce
1TB Tomato Paste
1/4tsp Garlic Powder
1tsp Sugar
1/4tsp Basil
1/4tsp Oregano
6 Slices Canadian Bacon
1 Red Onion - Sliced
2-3C Fresh Spinach
4oz Mozzarella Cheese (I use Shredded Part Skim)

Make the pizza dough - note it takes a few hours to rise so give yourself some time okay? Or have your kids make it (it is pretty simple!) when they get home from school so it will be ready for dinner time!

Okay dough made... Stretch it out to fill your greased pizza pan and turn your oven on to 500° - yes I know real hot! While the oven is warming and your dough is resting after the stretch it is time for us to make the sauce and prep the toppings. In a small bowl mix the tomato sauce, paste, garlic powder, sugar, basil & oregano together and set to the side. Chop the canadian bacon into quarters, and slice the onion real thin (the pizza won't be cooking long so you want it thin!). Rinse and dry the spinach and by now your dough should of been resting for 10-15 minutes, if not give yourself a break and let that pizza dough rest the full 10-15 minutes.

Okay dough's rested... pour the tomato sauce mixture on top of the dough and spread it out almost to the edges (I can hear my mom reminding me as a kid to get it all the way to the edge!) then top with the spinach, onions, bacon then mozzarella. Toss it into the oven, set the timer for 10 minutes then get ready to enjoy! My oven cooks pretty quickly so it only took 10 minutes for my dough to be nice and golden brown and my cheese to be sufficiently melted. It may take up to 15 minutes for you to achieve this but make sure to check after 10 minutes. Once done, slice, serve and enjoy!
