Ingredients

  1. Deselect All
  2. One 13.8-ounce pop-tube pizza dough
  3. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  4. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  5. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  6. 2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
  7. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  8. 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  9. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  10. Zest of 1 lemon
  11. Freshly ground black pepper
  12. 4 slices thick-cut bacon
  13. Two 1-inch slices beefsteak tomato
  14. One 1-inch slice iceberg lettuce or 1 heart of romaine, sliced lengthwise
  15. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  16. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  17. 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  18. 1 teaspoon honey
  19. 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  20. 1 teaspoon sriracha seasoning

Instructions

  1. For the bread: Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F.
  2. Lay out the dough on a work surface and sprinkle with the olive oil, parsley, rosemary, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Fold it over itself and roll out or just press with your hands to make a square that could fit four slices of bread, because that’s the goal. (You will eventually want to cut this into fourths to serve.) Place on the direct heat of the grill and cook until it releases from the grill and is slightly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until done, 5 to 8 minutes.
  3. For the bacon: Mix the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, zest and a few grinds of black pepper in a bowl. Press the bacon into this mixture and place on a piece of nonstick aluminum foil on the grill. Cook, without flipping, until the bacon is crispy, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and roughly chop.
  4. For the tomatoes and lettuce: Brush the tomato slices and lettuce with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes and lettuce directly on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until the tomatoes and lettuce are slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Build the sandwiches: Mix the mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice and sriracha seasoning in a small bowl. Chop the grilled tomatoes and lettuce. Add the chopped tomatoes to the bread and press them slightly into the bread, then add the chopped bacon and piles of lettuce. Drizzle with the sriracha mayonnaise. Cut into four pieces and serve.

This was really good! We did the pizza dough and the vegetables on the indoor grill and the bacon in a nonstick pan on medium low. I want to make the mayo for other sandwiches. We will make this recipe again! Quick and easy!

Loved this! The bacon with the brown sugar and cayenne pepper is delicious, I now make my bacon like this all the time!
