Spicendipity: Recipes for Irish Artisan Spice Mixes, Sauces and Baking Mixes

This is a lovely summery pizza that utilises our Two Brew BBQ Sauce instead of the more traditional tomato sauce. It gives it a nice zing and just a hint of spice. Use the pizza dough recipe here, which is a fool-proof and delicious dough, or use a store bought crust.  If you’ve never worked with yeast dough before, pizza is a great way to start, as it is very forgiving and will hold up well even if you’re too impatient to wait two full rises.  The dough can also be made into ciabatta or foccacia bread.  It’s very versatile.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 quantity pizza dough or large store bought crust
• 1/3 bottle Two Brew BBQ Sauce
• 1 red onion, thickly sliced
• Handful bacon lardons or cooked chicken
• 1/2 green pepper, diced
• 1 ball mozzarella cheese
• large handful cheddar cheese
• coriander/cilantro to garnish (optional)

Pre-heat your oven to it’s highest setting for the dough, or follow the instructions on the package if using the store-bought crust.

Roll out the dough and place on a pizza stone or baking sheet.  Prick the dough all over with a fork (not necessary for store crust.)  Spoon the BBQ sauce on the dough, spreading it evenly in a thin layer, leaving space at the edges for the crust.

Thinly slice the mozzarella and spread over the pizza.  Add the onions, peppers and meat.  Top with cheddar cheese.

Bake for ten to fifteen minutes, or as required for store crust.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with some fresh chopped coriander for an extra kick.
