Deep Dish BLT Pizza
2 packages (11 oz. each) refrigerated bread sticks
1 package (8 oz.) bacon, crisply cooked, drained and crumbled, divided
4 oz. sliced deli turkey breast, coarsely chopped
4 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
1/3 cup sliced green onions with tops
3 plum tomatoes
2 cups romaine lettuce, thinly sliced
2 tablespoon ranch dressing
Preheat oven to 350�F. Cut a 15" circle of parchment paper; place in bottom of a
deep dish baker. Remove bread stick dough from package; do not unroll. Separate
1 roll into 6 coils; unroll into strips. Starting in center and working outwards,
completely line bottom of baker. Roll top of dough with a pizza roller to seal.
Slice second roll of dough lengthwise in half. Lay each half, flat side down,
and
slice crosswise into 12 half moons for a total of 24 pieces. Form decorative
edge by arranging pieces of dough next to each other, standing on end against
baker. Use a pizza roller to seal bottom edge of pieces to base.
Coarsely chop turkey; place in a bowl. Grate cheese. Add half of the bacon, half
of the cheese and green onions; mix. Spread evenly over dough in baker.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4" slices; arrange over filling. Sprinkle with
remaining cheese and bacon. Bake 30-35 minutes until edges of bread are a deep
golden brown.
Using edges of parchment, lift pizza out of baker onto cutting board. Slice
lettuce; toss with dressing & arrange around edge of pizza. Cut pizza into
wedges.
