40 pizzas / bacon & date.


Baconpizza
Baconpizza2

pizza no. 20 : bacon & date.

occasion : Paul's family is in town.

crust : our whole wheat usual. (I promise I have plans to try something different soon!)

sauce : olive oil.

cheese : pepper jack.

toppings : cooked bacon, chopped dates, green onion.

thoughts : at a new favorite dinner spot, we tried an appetizer that was bacon wrapped dates plus pepper jack cheese. Since it's next to impossible for us to try a new flavor combination without sticking it on a pizza, we knew this would be happening. At the last second before we stuck it in the oven I told Paul it needed some color. We decided on green onions and added them to the pizza for the last five minutes of baking so they wouldn't burn. They were the perfect touch to a pretty great pizza.

    Oooooh what a great combination – a nice spinoff of prosciutto and fig!

    That sounds delicious! My husband and I will be traveling to San Diego soon, would you mind recommending a few of your favorite places to eat? I’d love to try something new while we are there!

    scott just started trying to recreate a simple tomato sauce and cheese only pizza in the style of our local favorite, pizzeria mozza. he got the crust recipe online from the mozza cookbook and we think it’s pretty incredible. not the most creative, but if you’re looking to mix it up i thought i’d mention. 🙂

    This would be a good one to eat towards the end of a pregnancy – word on the street is eating dates makes your labor easier! Plus it just sounds good:)

    I just bought whole-wheat flour at the grocery this morning in hopes of finally trying your fave pizza crust. I’m looking forward to it!

    Devil’s on horseback (dates wrapped in bacon) is an old fashion classic. My Nan 80+ years craved them for her birthday. Cute!
    I’m sure someone has asked before but what is the handwriting font on your photo?

    Sounds like an interesting combination! I’ve never actually tried dates before…
