White Pizza w/Bacon, Onions, Asparagus and Parm
Here's the latest of a series of pizzas I've come up with, and I think it's a winner.
White pizzas are a great change from the typical pizza, and one of the easiest ways to make a pizza unique. It really pays to think in terms of removing items from a dish, as opposed to thinking about what you can add, this gives you discipline as a cook.
Instead of sauce I used Tibvrtini Olio Extra Virgene di Oliva and quite a bit of grated Grana Padano cheese. I chopped and rendered crispy 4 or 5 slices of thick cut bacon, a large onion sliced thinly and some asparagus, all separately, then let them cool before topping the oil and cheese. It was baked at 500 on a pizza pan, then slid onto a stone to brown the bottom.
It's an amazing combination of ingredients- salty, sweet, crisp and chewy. Try it!

That just looks ridiculously good. Once again, I must detest you.
