Bratwurst Pizza

Sounds weird, right? Welp, don't judge it until you try it, it's flippin' delicious!

You will need::

Pizza Dough. I used whole wheat dough.

Pasta Sauce, and one can of beer.

Olive oil, salt and pepper

Mozzarella Cheese

Bratwurst

Poblano pepper, sliced [Or any pepper you like]

Onion, sliced

Mmkay, You're going to start by preheating your oven, and pizza stone, if you have one, to 450 degrees. [If you don't have a pizza stone, I suggest preheating a cookie sheet/sheet pan.] Then, coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil, and throw the bratwursts in. Slowly poor in the can of beer, and turn the heat on medium-high to high heat. Let the liquid come to a boil, and completely evaporate. It takes around 8-10 minutes. And looks kinda like this...

 

Once all the liquid is gone, start browning the brats on each side, and add the onions and peppers to one side of the pan, like this...

 After the brats have browned on each side, take them out, and set aside to rest. This also gives the onions and peppers more room to groove. Oh, and P.S. You wanna make sure that once the liquid has evaporated, to turn the heat down to medium. While those are working, You'll want to roll out your pizza dough. I use my hands at first to stretch it out a bit, and then flour my counter to prevent sticking, and roll it out to the size I want it with a rolling pin.

Now, it's just a matter of building your pizza, which is pretty self explanatory, but for those of you who need a step by step guide.. Continue reading...

Cut your bratwursts into bite-sized pieces. Carefully remove the pizza stone [or sheet pan] from the oven, and put on your stove top. Place the pizza dough flat onto the stone/sheet. Start building your pizza with as much or as little sauce as you like.Then start placing the brats onto the dough, after that, add the onions and peppers, and finally the cheese...

AAAAAANNNNDDD, the final product looks something liiiiike THIS...

 

 

 

Yummy!

 

And here's a cute baby enjoying the hell outta some bratwurst pizza.

 

And, dudes, remember my rules. If you don't like brats, use Italian sausage, or hot dogs for all I care. If you don't want to use a tomato based sauce, you could use an alfredo, or a pesto would be awesome... If you don't like onions or peppers, try whatever you want. Broccoli, asparagus, WHATEVER! Make it your own, and have fun doing it!

 

Happy Cooking! :]
