COLD BLT PIZZA
Great snack or appy for parties/get togethers. I use reduced-fat products, but feel free to use the full-fat versions. I recommend using diced grape tomatoes, since larger tomatoes can make to much liquid.

BLT SALAD PIZZA
This recipe is sponsored by Target. I'm a big fan of enjoying pizza with a salad on the side and I usually find myself putting the salad ON TOP of my pizza. For this recipe I bake the crust until nice and crispy so it can hold the salad without getting soggy. Then, I top it with mozzarella and Parmesan, and finish with a simple salad of crispy bacon, ripe tomatoes and fresh greens.

PIZZERIA PERFECT BLT PIZZA- MY OWN RECIPE
I was challenged to make the perfect BLT pizza a few weeks ago. After looking at all of the recipes online, most were lacking a good sauce, and a good crust. Pizza without good sauce and crust just aren't worth making, in my book. The results were perfect the first go around... I wouldn't change a thing. The recipe is original...

Steps:
- 1. Prepare dough and let rise as per instructions. (This dough is very easy to make without the mess of having to knead it. Great, easy recipe.)
- 2. Prepare sauce by mixing all ingredients thoroughly. Halve grape tomatoes and shred lettuce. Let come up to room temp. Reserve 1/2 cup grape tomatoes to top cooked pizza.
- 3. Cut bacon in 1 1/2 inch chunks and fry until just before crisp, as you are going to be heating this one more time. Drain on paper towels. When the drippings have cooled slightly, add 1 tsp. drippings to sauce. Reserve an additional 1 TB. drippings.
- 4. When dough is ready, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use reserved 1 TB. bacon drippings to oil the pan in place of the olive oil that you may ordinarily use. (This little trick brings the smokey flavor of a BLT from the top of the pizza to the bottom.) Sprinkle with corn meal, if using. Spread out pizza dough with your hands.
- 5. Top with sauce, then 1/2 of bacon, then cheddar and mozzarella, then 1 cup halved grape tomatoes, cut side up. (This keeps the juice in the skin instead of on the pizza.) Remember to reserve 1/2 cup grape tomatoes.
- 6. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until done. (Optional tip: When I take my pizzas out of the oven, I combine a halved garlic clove and a few tablespoons of olive oil, microwave until warm and then brush on hot crust.) Add shredded lettuce, other half of bacon (warm in the micro for a few seconds) and reserved 1/2 cup tomatoes.
- 7. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and or red pepper flakes, if desired. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use a good quality pizza dough. This will make a big difference in the final product. You can either make your own dough or buy it pre-made from the store.
- Don't overcook the bacon. It should be crispy, but not burnt.
- Use a generous amount of mayonnaise. This will help to keep the pizza moist and flavorful.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. You could add sliced hard-boiled eggs, avocado, or even grilled chicken.
- Serve the pizza immediately. This is when it will be at its best.
Conclusion:
A cold BLT pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It's also a great way to use up leftover bacon and lettuce. With its unique combination of flavors and textures, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
