It had been a long while since I last made pizza. My kids had been asking me time and again to make some to no avail!  So when they saw me kneading the dough, preparing the base sauce and topping and smelled the all too familiar aroma that filled the kitchen, they were thrilled! They enjoyed themselves to the very last crumb! That was their long awaited pizza fix!! To learn how to make the pizza dough click here. For the base sauce click here.

  3. Prepare your pizza dough. Click here to learn how to do so. Once that is done, get your ingredients for the topping ready. Heat oil in pan and add the bacon (if using). Saute it for 3 min and set aside. Add the onion and fry for a min. Add the peppers and fry for another minute. Remove from pan and set aside. Add the kidney and garlic. Season with salt, pepper and fresh thyme. Fry until kidney is cooked. Take the set aside peppers, onion and bacon. Add to the cooked kidney, mix everything up and set aside to cool. Prepare your base sauce then also set it aside to cool. Learn how to prepare the base sauce here.
  4. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 350  degrees Fahrenheit. Take your pizza dough and roll it out into a fairly thin circle. Lightly grease you pizza pan with some oil then place your dough in the pizza pan.
  5. Spread your base sauce onto the pizza dough as evenly as you can.
  6. Add the kidney, bacon, peppers and onion mix on top of the base sauce. Place the pineapple pieces on top of the meat mix.
  7. Finally top it all up with your cheese. Bake in preheat oven for 10-15 min (this is highly dependent on the thickness of your pizza base. I recommend that you make it a thin base if this is your first time making pizza. If it’s a thin base start checking on your pizza from 8 min onwards.)
  8. As soon as your pizza is out of the oven, use your pizza cutter or knife to slice it up whilst it’s still hot. Give it a few minutes to cool down before indulging! Enjoy.
