Jalapeño Popper Pizza

This particular recipe for jalapeño popper pizza is a favorite among the members of our family, and it is a favorite here in our home. If you were to place jalapeño, bacon, and cream cheese on top of a fathead pizza dough, you would have the ideal mix together. Nothing else could possibly be on your want list?

The moment my husband had my keto pizza recipe, he fell in love with me all over again. Is this a joke? However, regardless of whether or not it was a keto pizza, it was without a doubt one of the best pizzas he had ever had.

Moreover, pizza is one of the man’s most beloved foods. Is it not the case that? A comparatively small percentage of us would turn down a slice of pizza that is ooey-gooey and melty. This is because we are not those kind of people.

Nevertheless, the amalgamation of pizza with jalapeño poppers really represents a one-of-a-kind and amazing event. It is almost a mystery that pepperoni is the most popular topping when you consider how delicious it is. Pepperoni is the most ubiquitous topping.

In my household, jalapenos-flavored poppers are a favorite among the members of my family. It took them the same amount of time to consume this pizza as it does for them to consume my Keto Jalapeno Popper Chicken. Among the keto dinner recipes that I have created, it is abundantly evident that I need to make more regular use of bacon, cream cheese, and chili peppers.

How to make jalapeno popper pizza

Cook the bacon: Chop it first, as it crisps up better this way. Then drain on a paper towel-lined plate while you make the crust.

Prepare the keto pizza crust: Fathead dough can be a bit tricky so make sure you read the step-by-step instructions and tips in that recipe.

Roll out the dough: Place it on a large piece of parchment paper, top with another piece of parchment, and roll out to a 12 inch circle.

Pre-bake the crust: Fathead dough needs to be pre-baked so it won’t be soggy. I like to do this on a pizza stone as it crisps up better. But do NOT put the dough directly on the stone or it will stick. Make sure you keep it on the bottom piece of parchment.

Spread with the “sauce”: In this recipe, the sauce is softened cream cheese with a little garlic.

Top with shredded cheese: I like the combination of mozzarella and cheddar for gooeyness, colour, and flavour.

Add the bacon and jalapeno: Sprinkle the pizza generously with the cooked bacon and sliced pepper.

Bake again: Return the pizza to the oven for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
