Homemade Oven Grilled Pizza

Hello Steemitverse!

How was your weekends? Mine was lazy days, I did nothing, just watched TV the whole day but the Food Network always made me insane hungry. 😂

So, instead of ordering our food through delivery, last night I made our dinner inspired by my favorite food network channel... My homemade oven grilled pizza.

But before it turns out to be this deliciously looking pizza, I gathered first, all the “only available” ingredients in the fridge. And lucky, I have anough to cook our simple dinner.

And I will show you how I made this “cheese and bacon pizza”, which I just named it, haha!

Lets get started!

First, I need to have a dough, made from...
all purpose flour - about four cups,
5 teaspoon sugar,
2 teaspoon salt,
3 teaspon dry yeast,
4 teaspon extra-virgin olive oil,
1 and 1/3 cups of warm water.
And a little more extra oil and flour for kneading the dough.

Combined all the dry ingredients and whisk, set aside. Put the dry yeast in the warm water and let it become foamy, for about 12 minutes and stir in the olive oil. Then, put the liquid mixture into the dry one, gradually stir until it becomes a rough dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, form a ball covered by dusting of flour.

Set aside in a large bowl with enough space when it doubles the size, grease with olive oil and cover tightly by plastic wrap. I Let it rest for about one and a half hour or two.

While I’m waiting for the dough to double it's size, I also prepare my own version of pizza sauce. Because I want everything to be fresh and homey.

The sause was made from 5 meduim ripe local tomatoes (coz thats what I have in the fridge 😂), green bell pepper, white onions, a glove of minced garlic, grind black pepper, salt, a cup of water, olive oil, and dried oregano and thyme leaves to have the Italian taste.

I sauted the onion, garlic and diced tomato and added all the ingredients until thick and tasty.

After less than two hours of waiting, the dough is ready and rolled out about 6 x 10 inches or so. I actually made 4 thin fresh pizza dough and pre cooked.

I saved the two other pizza dough in the freezer for the coming days if I crave for pizza again.😁
So, these two pizza dough was covered by mild cheedar (again, its the only cheese that I have, lol!).

Top with my own special chunky pizza sauce. Why it is chunky? I will tell you later. 😆

Then another cheese, dash of parmesan cheese.

Topped with lots of white onion.

More sliced of green bell pepper.

And crispy bacon bits!
I also prepared the bacon bits after the pizza sauce. I actually cooked the bacon in the microwave because I don’t want to get messy by the oil coming from the pan while frying the bacon.

And... we are almost done 🤗
Perhaps you are wondering why the other one is just basic, because that is for my daugther. She is not eating much toppings. And the reason for the chunky sauce is for her, so that she can still have the taste of the tomato, onions and bell pepper. You know kids don’t want those big slices of veggies. Haha!

And now, its grilling in 290 degree celsius for about 7 mins to have the smoky flavor.

Tadah! Presenting... Homemade Cheese and Bacon Grilled Pizza! 😋😋

Ugh! I almost ate my whole piece. Hahaha! Really delicious!

Uh oh... I hope didn’t made you drool.
But if you did, I can make you one or more here in my humble home and let’s explore and travel together in the Province of Quezon. 🤗🛣✈️

Thank you for taking time to read my blog.
Keep Steemin’!
