BBQ Bacon Pizza with Spinach

Pizza or BBQ? From now on, you don't have to decide! Because this mega-loaded dough sheet has everything your BBQ heart desires: hearty bacon, sweet-spicy onions, mild spinach, and a smoky barbecue sauce as a base - which makes an ideal substitute for tomato sauce. Tired of standard salami or Margherita? Then you should definitely serve up this pizza monster at your next pizza party. This version of Italy's national dish is anything but "authentically Italian", but no less awesome.

Lena's highlight on the weekend is buttery ribs from the Dutch Oven, crispy pork belly from the grill, and a cold Altbier – no matter the weather. For dessert, a few chocolate bacon cookies are more than welcome. Who needs cupcakes or wonder waffles?! Bacon is the magic word here!
