The most DEEELISH DEEP DISH TABASCO® Buffalo Styl

The most DEEELISH DEEP DISH TABASCO® Buffalo Style Hot Sauce, Bacon and Ranch Pizza. Guys the flavour of this pizza is next level GOOOOOOOD! #LightThingsUp @tabasco

You’ll find the recipe below:

Ingredients

For the pizza base:
600g white bread flour
1 packet yeast (10g)
1 tbsp sugar
1.5 tsp salt
4 tbsp olive oil
2.5-3 cups warm water

For the pizza sauce:
1 can diced tomatoes
1 garlic clove, grated
3 tbsp TABASCO® Buffalo Style Hot Sauce
Salt and Pepper

For the ranch sauce:
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup buttermilk
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove
½ lemon, juice
20 chives, chopped finely with scissors
1 small handful of parsley

For the toppings:
8 strips of streaky bacon
3 tbsp TABASCO® Buffalo Style Hot Sauce
1 cup mozzarella, grated

Place the pizza base ingredients in a large bowl and mix well until a dough forms. Add a little extra water if needed until the dough is soft but manageable. Remove from the bowl and place on a floured surface and knead until smooth. Return to a clean oiled bowl and cover with plastic for 1hr or until double in size.
While the dough rests, make the sauces. Place the diced tomatoes, garlic and TABASCO® Buffalo Style Hot Sauce in a small pot and cook for 5-10 mins until slightly reduced. Allow to cool slightly and then blitz in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
To make the ranch sauce, place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Next lay the bacon out on a lined baking tray and brush generously with TABASCO® Buffalo Style Hot Sauce. Place in a 180’c oven until the bacon in lightly golden.
Turn the oven up to 210’c now.

Once the dough has doubled, remove it from the bowl and press it into a #pizza pan or roll into a circle on a floured surface and place on a lined tray.
Top with pizza sauce, ranch sauce, mozzarella and bacon strips and place in the oven for 20-25mins until the base is cooked through, the cheese is golden and melted.
