Everyday Style & Recipes. Est. 2010
It took some convincing for my Italian, east-coast born, boyfriend to go along with a pizza recipe that requires barbeque sauce, not tomato sauce. After he tasted it though I didn’t have to do anymore convincing. The flavors of this recipe were very good. The tangy barbeque sauce was a nice compliment to the sweet onions. I used Fontina cheese, but you can make it with blue, gouda, feta or mozzarella cheese as well.

I had an older post with this same recipe but as with the nature of almost every recipe I have used it has turned out a little bit differently this time around. I had some fresh mozzarella and parmesan leftover in the fridge so I added those in. I didn’t have any capers this time which was too bad. They are very nice on this pizza.
I like the thin crust style of this pizza and the flavor of the roasted orange and yellow peppers. Roasting the peppers beforehand intensifies their flavor. Instead of leaving the skins on I removed them. I think I like this version better–some of the bitterness of the blackened pepper was removed when I took away the skin. The fontina and parmesan with the addition of fresh mozzarella gave the toppings a melty softness that was very tasty. I went the lazy route and used a pre-made dough from the grocery again. I like to use the whole wheat dough sold in a package (not a can). One of these days I will try a pizza crust from scratch.
