than a golf ball and gently place on the
parchment.

7 to 8 minutes will yield medium rare
meatballs at 124-126 F with a thermometer.
10 to 12 minutes will yield well-done
meatballs. (Remember that the meatballs
may cook too much on a pizza if you place
at the beginning of the bake.)
For the Pizza:
19 ounces of your proprietary pizza

10 meatballs from above recipe, cut in
half
1 Roma tomato cut into small dice
5 leaves of basil chopped in strips

the spinach.
For the Meatballs: (Yield 20-22)
1 pound ground beef (80/20 mix- meat
to fat)
10 ounces of fatty thick bacon diced fine
1 cup red onion finely diced
1 egg

6 tablespoons chopped basil
1.5 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon granulated garlic

2 minutes until just transparent. Set aside.
In a bowl large enough to accommodate
the mix, Place the beef, bacon and all the
other ingredients.

(This is the best mixer.)
When mixed, place two small dollops
from different areas in the mix onto foil
and place in a 400 F oven. Cook for long
enough for a taste test. Adjust taste levels
as needed for heat, saltiness etc.
Place a sheet of parchment on a large
sheet pan.
dough
Place the béchamel cream sauce on the
pizza followed by the spinach.
Place the Asiago then the mozzarella
cheese blend on the pizza.
Place the meatball halves around the
pizza.
Place the pizza in a 500 F oven and
bake for 12 minutes or until the crust is
golden brown and the cheese melted. Pay
particular attention to the middle of the
pizza for doneness because of the cream
sauce may have made the middle soupy.
Once the pizza is baked, top with the
diced tomato and basil for color and flavor.
