2 green onions, finely chopped
3 large radishes, finely chopped
1/4 cup green olives, finely chopped
1/4 cup ripe olives, finely chopped
1/8 cup anchovies (optional)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

in a saucepan, combine these ingredients

1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/8 tsp cayenne powder
1/2 medium green pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup real bacon bits
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp italian salad dressing
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/8 cup water

Directions:

The sauce:
Combine all listed ingredients for the sauce...
On medium high heat, cook until the contents reduce to half, stirring often to prevent sticking
Allow the sauce to cool completely
Grind the sauce with a hand blender, or food processor until it is smooth and fine
In the interim, work on your pizza dough…
================================
The Dough:
Combine all the dry ingredients
Combine the yeast mixture with the beaten egg and oil.
Add slowly to dry ingredients, mixing well, until the dough starts to come away from the bowl.
Add more flour as needed to make the dough workable
Gently knead the dough, folding, pressing, and turning, for about 5 minutes.
This dough does not have to be kneaded to the smooth and blistered stage.
Butter and flour the pizza pan
Now, shape the dough into a ball, and gradually flatten out to fit the pizza pan.
Let the dough sit for about five minutes to dry a little on top, then begin adding ingredients:
Add the tomato sauce first
Top with the aforementioned ingredients, and sprinkle with the cheeses
================================
To bake:
Preheat oven to 425*F
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown, and the center of the pizza is bubbling
Allow the finished pizza to rest for about five minutes to allow the tomato sauce to firm up.
================================
***alternative topping suggestions:
Yellow or orange sweet pepper
Pineapple
Lemon or lime zest
Jalapeno peppers
Chives
Gruyere’ cheese
Sweet pepper seeds (for a nice, nutty flavor)
Parsley
Broken cashew nuts
ENJOY! :+D
