Apple-Cheddar Pizza

This particular recipe is courtesy of Food Network Magazine's excellent cookbook, 1,000 Easy Recipes. We did modify a few aspects of the pizza, specifically the dough and the overall cooktime, but this was a fantastic recipe.

To start, here is what you will need for the dough:
Whisk 3 3/4 cups flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Make a well and add 1 1/3 cups warm water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 packet yeast. When foamy, mix in 3 tablespoons olive oil; knead until smooth, 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean bowl and brush with olive oil; cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Divide into two 1 pound balls.

Here are you remaining ingredients:
2 Granny Smith apples, sliced (we chose Granny Smith, but you can pick whatever kind you enjoy)
Oregano, as desired
Pumpkin Pie Spice, as desired
1/2 cup shredded cheddar
4-6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Maple syrup, as desired

Once the dough is complete, stretch 1 pound dough into a large 12 inch round (the original recipe calls for two 9 inch rounds). Brush with olive oil and season with salt. Top with sliced apples, oregano, and pumpkin pie spice. Bake until golden, between 20-25 minutes. Top with crumbled bacon and maple syrup.

Enjoy!
