Ingredients

• 2-3 cups Brussels Sprouts Quartered, loose leaves reserved. I like smaller Brussels sprouts for pizza. Save any leaves that fall off as you break them down.
• 2 strips Bacon Par-cooked, I render the bacon to about 60% cooked. In the video I'm using Nueske's Applewood Smoked Bacon 
• 6 cloves Roasted Garlic I roast whole heads of garlic wrapped in foil in a 375f oven for about 45 minutes to and hour.
• 100 g Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
• 1/4 cup Coarsely Grated Parmesan or other hard grating cheese
• Olive Oil
• 1 dough ball Pizza Dough A naturally fermented (sourdough) recipe & guide. Easy yeasted thin & crispy pizza recipe. Using store bought dough? Check out my vid on How to Make Store Bought Dough Awesome!

Instructions

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

• Preheat oven to 400f with fan on. Toss quartered Brussels sprouts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast until lightly charred, about 8 minutes. Let cool before topping pizza.

Pizza

• Watch the video for the full how to!
• Preheat your Ooni Pizza Oven for at least 30 minutes, I like to heat the center of the oven deck to around 850f before loading this style of pizza.
• Begin building the pizza by adding the fresh mozzarella and parmesan to the stretched pizza dough.
• Top with roasted garlic cloves. Arranging so each slice gets a full clove.
• Top with roasted Brussels sprouts followed by the bacon. Add reserved Brussels sprouts leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in your Ooni pizza oven till fully baked and nicely colored (I aim for a 3-4 minute bake for a more crispy bottom) Watch the video for the real time bake!
• Let the crust set on a wire rack for a least 20 seconds. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired. Slice, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.

Notes

In the Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Pizza Video I’m using the 14″ Pizza Peel from Ooni to load the pizzas and this 12″ Perforated Peel is currently being used as my turning peel. I always let my pizzas rest for a short while to ensure the crust doesn’t get soggy, they kick it on this half sheet pan rack set. I use this pizza cutter. I serve my pizza on this 14″ Wooden Pizza Peel.
