Serves: 4


Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes






Ingredients

  • 8 oz Pizza Dough

  • 5 mozzarella sticks

  • 2 bacon strips


Process

  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF

  2. Take your pizza dough and roll it out until it's very thin - around 1/4 inch.

  3. Use a whole mozzarella stick as the base of your candy cane, and chop another into small slices so that you can mimic the curve of the candy cane on top, as shown in the picture on the right.

  4. Cover the mozzarella stick completely, by wrapping the dough around it.

  5. Slice your bacon strip down vertically, making two long thin strips. Use one strip per candy cane, and wrap it in diagonal loops (like a candy cane), pinching it at the top and bottom to stick

  6. Bake for around 15 minutes, or until the bacon is done and the dough is golden.

  7. Serve with marinara sauce or pesto to dip
