Did you say PIZZA...? This is a roundabout way on how to make BLT PIZZA
Finding a good alternative for pizza has been tough around the Rutherford house. We believe that it all starts with finding the perfect vessel/crust. We have spent so much time and energy trying different crusts. Not only does it have to be relatively simple to make and sturdy enough to hold up to some awesome toppings, it has to TASTE GOOD. There's a novel thought!
If you want good pizza you have to have a good foundation. :)
Here's a few crusts that we have tried:
- cauliflower
- fathead
- almond flour
- nut flour
- pre-made fresh
- pre-made frozen
- box mixes
- seed based
- plant based
- paleo flour
- the list goes on and on....
ENOUGH ABOUT THE CRUST... I hope you got the point.. !!
Rutherfords pick for CRUST
Pizza Crust - Simple Mills (Bake according to box)
The BLT Pizza... is constructed a bit differently.. it's a HOT & COLD topping pizza...
So when you remove your pizza crust from the oven (the first time) you will simply place
- Choice of Shredded Cheese
- Chopped Bacon (cooked)
- The secret sauce will come later :)
Rutherfords pick for SAUCE
Another important part of a pizza! You can have the best crust in the world but it's not gonna matter if the sauce sucks.. lol
White BBQ Sauce by far is our favorite. It's used in salads, pizza, wings, and dressings. Think of it as a universal base...you can change it up by adding different seasonings..
For the COLD PART of the toppings, the L part of the BLT.. yeah, I know it supposed to be lettuce but it just doesn't work for this. We use chopped cabbage (rough bite-size chop) because it holds up to a heavy sauce, it also clings well.. And the T part of BLT is for Tomato... we don't do anything special to them.. just pick your fav and chop them up.
COLD TOPPING:
Chopped Cabbage
Chopped Onion (Yeah, I know there is no O in BLT)
Chopped Tomato
Combine all the above ingredients then mix in your prepared White BBQ Sauce. Boom you have the cold part of the topping complete..
To FINISH the BLT PIZZA
You just took the hot pizza out of the oven for the 2nd 5-7 minutes... (cheese & bacon only)
- Place your pizza on a board so that you can cut it into slices (do it now or you will have a mess)
- Time to top your HOT pizza with your COLD toppings. Spread the cabbage mixture over top of the hot pizza
GRAB A PLATE & ENJOY.. !!
