It doesn’t get much better than the satisfaction of making and enjoying your very own homemade pizza. It takes a little time and some pre-planning, but the results are worth it. The directions look long, but don’t be overwhelmed. The crust seriously comes together in a few minutes and then sits in the refrigerator until you’re ready. It is a very friendly and happy dough.
I saw this topping combination over at Shutterbean and it has since become a favorite. I up the ante and use the bacon drippings with balsamic vinegar to wilt the shredded brussels sprouts resulting in a very flavorful “salad” on top of the pizza.
I also make two pizzas at the same time and use the Love and Olive Oil method for freezing the second pizza. This way you have a homemade frozen pizza at your fingertips whenever you just need pizza. We all have pizza emergencies, right?
My whole life is a pizza emergency!
P.S. I can’t wait to try these toppings!
Megan – Ha! Best kind of emergency!
The best kind of Emergency!!
Yay and yum! Pizza emergency, seriously. I am kind of sad that we’re nearing the end of brussels sprouts season, crazy though that may sound.
Kimberley – I have always had love for brussels sprouts, but I think this pizza could convert the haters. At least we have beautiful spring and summer produce to look forward to!
We make a pie similar to this at home quite often. One of our favorites! Sometimes switching up bacon for prosciutto, sometimes using goat cheese or blue cheese or doing a simple olive oil-garlic rub on the crust with shaved pecorino on the top. Lots of black pepper is mandatory.
Cheers,

Heather – I just love proscuitto on pizza, too. All of your variations sound delicious!
Love the flavor combo for the toppings, especially the addition of balsamic vinegar. Your pizza crust looks so good!
Jess – The balsamic vinegar is a key component to the flavor. Together it is smokey and a touch sweet. Thank you!
I know exactly what you mean about a pizza emergency. This looks spectacular.
Tori – I’m so glad that I’m not the only one with pizza emergencies! Thank you!
