Ingredients
- ½ recipe whole wheat pizza dough or your favorite pizza dough recipe—enough to yield an 11x14-inch pizza.
- 4 slices Bacon cooked*
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (plus 1–2 tablespoons additional for brushing the pizza)
- ¾ pound brussels sprouts, stems removed and thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (heaping, about 3 cloves)
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 cups freshly grated mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup crumbled Feta cheese
Instructions
- If necessary, cook the bacon according to one of my easy methods listed below. Once cool, cut into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low, then add the Brussels sprouts and salt. Cook just until beginning to soften, about 6 minutes.
- Add the balsamic vinegar. Cook 1 minute, until the vinegar disperses, then add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook 1 additional minute, then remove from heat and set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into an 11x14-inch rectangle, working from the center. If the dough bounces back, simply let it rest a minute, then roll again. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or dust with cornmeal. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet, then brush the surface of the dough all over with olive oil.
- Top with 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese (1 cup), the sautéed Brussels sprouts, then the remaining mozzarella cheese, bacon, and feta.
- Bake the pizza until crisp and golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes, slice then serve.
