This recipe has been created by our Igneus Ambassador – Dave’s Outdoor Cooking & BBQ

Ingredients

• Pizza dough – Choose from these two dough recipes ( ‘White Bread Flour’ | ’00 Flour’ ) or alternatively order our Igneus Sourdough Balls straight to your door.
• Smoked Bacon 
• Goats Cheese
• Red Onion
• Teaspoon of sugar
• Balsamic Vinegar
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Method

1. Light up your Igneus pizza oven. Build a tower of kindling in the centre of your oven.
2. Keep burning kindling for 10-30 minutes (depending on the size of your oven). 
3. Then push the fire to the back of the pizza oven and add a log of Kiln Dried Silver Birch (size of log will depend on the size of your oven).
4. You will now cook the bacon using a cast iron skillet pan. Use oil in the pan and add the bacon. Make sure you use heat resistant gloves to protect your hands.
5. Once the bacon is cooked, you will then need to slice your red onions. 
6. It’s now time to cook the red onions into a cast iron pan.
7. Oil the pan and place the onion inside.
8. Add a teaspoon of sugar and dash of balsamic vinegar.
9. As the onions start to caramelise – remove them from the pan.
10. Your toppings are now ready to use.
11. Add another log onto your fire. Get the oven temperature up to 350-400°c.
12. Stretch your chosen dough into a pizza shape and place the goats cheese, bacon and caramelised on top. (You can use a ‘Tomato Topping’ underneath if you so wish).
13. Use a pizza peel to place the pizza into your oven.
14. Let it cook for 30 seconds then spin the pizza around for and even cook. 
15. Allow it to cook for another 30-40 seconds.
16. Remove from the pizza oven and enjoy!
