Asparagus, Bacon , Alfredo Pizza with a Balsamic Drizzle

Mr. MCYM also known as my Husband Jim has been making our family pizza for over 30 years. He used to do it so I had a night off from cooking and always included the kids letting them help roll the dough and prep whatever toppings they chose. This pizza has been a long time favorite combination as it’s sweet and creamy from the Balsamic drizzle and Alfredo sauce, a little crunch from the asparagus and some salt from the bacon.
When it comes to the toppings I don’t measure as I just add however much we like so my measurements for the toppings is not exact.

I recently came across a pizza flour at Hannaford and new it was time for pizza night to make a come back. The flour is made by King Arthur and it’s a neopolitan style “00” pizza flour.
Jim has always made the dough in our bread machine but you can make your own dough or simply buy some from your local grocery store or pizza place!

INGREDIENTS

1 ball of pizza dough or pre-made crust
1/2 cup or so of your favorite Alfredo Sauce. I used roasted garlic Alfredo by Rao’s
1/2 cup of diced asparagus
1/2 cup of cooked chopped bacon
1/2 cup chopped onion, I prefer red onion
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
Drizzle of Balsamic reduction

DIRECTIONS

Roll your pizza dough to your desired size. Add the Alfredo sauce covering the pizza dough almost to the edge of the pizza. Add your Topping throughout the pizza. Add your grated cheese covering your toppings. Bake according to your dough instructions. When the pizza is cooked and the cheese is melted remove from oven and drille the balsamic reduction around the pizza. Slice and serve.

Enjoy!
