Instructions

  • Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven. Preheat oven to 450℉ 1 hour before cooking.

FOR THE SAUCE:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the Balsamic vinegar, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the vinegar is reduced by half and has a syrupy consistency, for about 4 minutes.
    Heat the balsamic until it is thickened and reduced.
  • Add strawberry preserves and sriracha. Mix well and set aside.
    Add in the strawberry jam.

FOR THE PIZZA:

  • Liberally dust a pizza peel with cornmeal. Roll or pat the dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Move the dough to the pizza peel and reshape as needed.
    Roll the dough out to a 12-inch round.
  • Spread the sauce over the pizza, leaving a 1-inch border.
    Cover the pizza with the balsamic mixture.
  • Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the pizza. Then, layer the pizza with the cooked bacon and red onion. Use the pizza peel to carefully jiggle the pizza on the baking stone in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    Top the pizza with cheese, chicken, bacon, and red onion and bake until golden.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with the strawberries and cilantro.
    Sprinkle the pizza with chopped strawberries and cilantro.
  • Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces and serving.

Notes

To make this pizza I use half of my favorite pizza dough recipe.
