Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet and Salty Apple Bacon Pizza
  1. Remove the pizza dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone inside to heat up.
  2. In a skillet, cook the halal beef bacon according to the package instructions until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly before crumbling into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Thinly slice the Honeycrisp apples and red onion for even cooking and great texture.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together a tablespoon of olive oil with a drizzle of honey until well blended. Set this aside for later drizzling.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out into a 12-inch circle. If using parchment paper, transfer the dough onto it.
  6. Brush the surface of the rolled-out dough generously with your olive oil and honey mixture. Sprinkle a generous layer of mozzarella and white cheddar cheese over the dough.
  7. Evenly distribute the apple and red onion slices across the cheesy surface, then follow with crumbled halal beef bacon and fresh rosemary.
  8. Slide the prepared pizza onto the hot pizza stone or a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  9. Once cooked, drizzle your leftover honey mixture over the hot pizza and let it rest for about 2-3 minutes.
