Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer to a piece of parchment paper.
- Pre-bake Crust: Pre-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes until it’s slightly golden.
- Add Toppings: Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the pre-baked crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the chopped bacon, then the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, and finally, the red onion slices.
- Bake: Transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) to the hot pizza stone or a baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley before slicing and serving.
