I had a feeling this would be more of a grown-up pizza so I made it for my husband and I, with back-up frozen burritos for my kidlets. But then low and behold, my little kids scarfed up this pizza in no time flat and whined that there wasn’t more. So you might be surprised that the unique flavor combo comes together in the most perfect way.
You can certainly make your own pizza dough if you have time (find our recipe, here.) But if you want to make this super quick and easy, just grab some pre-made dough. If you have a favorite pizza joint nearby, they often sell dough, and many grocery store bakeries (like Winco) will have fresh dough available for purchase. If all else fails, and you still don’t want to make your own, just grab a tube of ready-made dough, like Pillsbury. That’s actually what I’m using here! You’ll stretch it out into a rectangle and then either fold over (like I did) or squish the dough in a way that creates a thicker border around the edges. You’ll spread a layer of dijon mustard across the bottom of the dough (I was worried that might be too strong, but it was awesome).
Now for the “pretzel” part. To mimic a pretzel, brush the edges of the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt (like kosher salt.)
Sprinkle on shredded cheese, sliced kielbasa, apples, onions and sage.
Then drizzle with olive oil. I used our Garlic Oil which is extra yummy on something like this.
The combination of sweet from the apples, sharpness from the cheese, tangy from the mustard, and savory from the kielbasa is a perfect party of flavors.
This would make a fun party dish or appetizer,
Or pair it with a big salad for a light dinner. Love quick and easy meals like this! #Winning.
