La Fonda Del Oso: Jalapeno Hawaiian Pizza

After a busy week (soccer meetings, team practice and meeting friends for dinner) Thursday night we were finally able to enjoy a home-cooked meal. So yesterday I pulled ingredients from the fridge took out the Trader Joe's pizza dough and got to work on pizza night.

I used a variation of this pizza sauce recipe using only the ingredients I had on-hand. 

Sauce ingredients: 

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste 

6 ounces of warm water 

1 teaspoon minced garlic 

2 tablespoons honey

3/4 teaspoon onion powder 

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 

1/4 teaspoon chili powder 

1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes. 

I stretched out the pizza dough into a rectangle and brushed on the sauce. (I apologize for my ugly burnt cookie sheet, but hey this is real life). 

I added some toppings I already had. I used a Mexican cheese blend that we keep handy for those late-night quesadillas, ham, frozen pineapple chunks and left over jalapeno peppers from our Sunday cook-out. 

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes and dinner is served. 

A homemade pizza is easy, cheap (about a buck for the pizza dough) and healthier than its frozen store-bought counterpart. 

It's not delivery, it's homemade!
