Brussels Sprouts Pizza Carbonara

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough

First, preheat your oven according to the instructions provided with your pizza dough. This is important to ensure your pizza bakes evenly and achieves that delicious golden crust. Next, take your pizza dough and roll it out using a rolling pin until it reaches your desired thickness. Place it on a baking sheet or pizza stone, ensuring it’s ready to hold all the delicious toppings.

2. Spread Carbonara Sauce

Once your dough is prepped, spread a generous amount of carbonara sauce over it. Use a spoon or ladle for this step, making sure to leave a small border around the edges for the crust. This creamy sauce will serve as the base, adding richness and depth to your pizza.

3. Add Pecorino Cheese

Now it’s time to add the Italian Pecorino cheese. Sprinkle it evenly over the sauce. This cheese will melt beautifully, enhancing the flavor profile of your pizza with its sharp, salty notes.

4. Top with Brussels Sprouts

After the cheese, distribute the thinly shaved Brussels sprouts over the pizza. Use your hands to scatter them evenly, ensuring they don’t clump together. As they bake, the sprouts will crisp up, contributing a slightly sweet, nutty flavor that complements the creamy sauce perfectly.

5. Bake the Pizza

Place the prepared pizza in the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the Brussels sprouts are crispy, with some charred spots. The baking time may vary, so keep an eye on it to ensure everything cooks perfectly.

6. Serve

Finally, once your pizza is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven. Slice it using a pizza cutter or knife and serve it warm. Enjoy the wonderful combination of flavors and textures in every bite!
