Sweet Potato & Bacon Pizza | Food Wishes

[@ToxicSpinach64]

I've said this many times and I'm going to say it again. Chef John is a true American hero.

[@PaulTheBeav]

Pizza looks great! I like a little more color on the crust though. I might try this but give the crust a few minutes of pre-cooking before topping it.

[@OmniversalInsect]

​@@PaulTheBeav It's hard to get a good pizza crust with normal kitchen equipment. Pizza places will use thick metal pans and high temperature ovens for maximum heat transfer.

[@GameGamesGaming-tc8ur]

Oven dodger.

[@hiro4752]

The inside and outside of one lemon, but not in that order...love it

[@unamericano]

I hope someone archives these videos so that the next several generations have access to the amazing Chef John recipes and processes videos that have delighted and educated an era of internet users.

[@sadie4479]

A Basement Jaxx mention is one of a bazillion reasons why I love you lol. I actually am totally making this it looks so yummy!

[@cathydyer7349]

This was delicious! Saw it earlier today and had everything but jalapeños on hand. Added some onions and used red pepper flakes to get some heat. It was awesome!!

[@rjkirkland8659]

BasementJaxx ... no one is going to pause and appreciate that gem of an image...Chef John baking to BasementJaxx?

[@bkuker]

Heck yeah I did

[@UniMagik]

Where's Your Head At, Chef John?!

[@XanderL]

Elaborate

[@readymade83]

I wasn't expecting it and it made me smile.

[@MrConestogaman]

That crust looks like an amazing focaccia bread. The Chicagoan in me likes that you cut it into squares. Thanks for another classic! I would have never tried this but the fact it came from you made me a fan. Thanks again!

[@SatanLiterally]

What uh what else would you cut a rectangular pizza into but squares?

[@HKgaming86]

@@SatanLiterally Triangles 🤷‍♂? Anyway I thought this was more of a Detroit thing? 🤨

[@79tomato1]

there is a nice aesthetic pleasure in how nicely that pizza fits onto the shape of the cutting board itself

[@beckee6282]

This sounds so good. I would drizzle hot honey on top too

[@stefanmarchione6757]

And, in my humble opinion, all that is missing with those spicy jalapenos 🌶️ and crispy bacon 🥓 is just a few thinly sliced sweet red onion 🧅...and the hot honey 🍯 on top is literally 🧑‍🍳😘

[@brigid1927]

Can't wait to make this!!!!

[@jacobaccurso]

I make this bread dough all the time, but only as bread. Sharing with my sister for our family brick pizza oven in Turlock!

[@paulriley4420]

A Turlock mention in the comments was more unexpected than his Basement Jaxx reference.

[@jacobaccurso]

@ Glad you caught that, Paul. I have the Keyes to a whole Ceres of sneaky municipality mentions and I must say, I am not in the least Modesto about it.

[@melijahv]

I was living in the bay area. A fancy pizza restaurant opened in oakland, they had a pizza made with peanut butter sauce topped with bacon and potato. I'm a huge pizza fan, I make homemade pizza once a week. This was one of the best pizzas's of my life!

[@twosocks1976]

I have been making something similar, that I found on the King Arthur Flour website, for a couple of years now. I had to increase the amount of dough the recipe yielded, but it's a sheet pan pizza, and it's one of my favorite things to make. This sweet potato and bacon and jalapeno topping looks and sounds phenomenal. I'm going to have to try this sometime, maybe the next time my wife is out of town, visiting family.

[@HTLGoodFoods]

This pizza sounds so delicious! Sweet potatoes and bacon are an unbeatable combination! 🍕

[@davidcarbone3385]

Ingeniously created pizza!

[@wilboardman]

That was beautiful! Great job Chef John.

[@Victoria-hg6ze]

Appetizer? That dough looks and acts like foccacia. Gorgeous.

[@essiebessie661]

I see this going to my neighborhood’s happy hour instead of the usual chips-and-dip contribution. Best part is most of the prep can be done in advance.

[@lisaray9404]

Chef John's super power is being a really great chef, especially a pizza chef, amongst other things. BUT I think he knows what MY kryptonite is. 💖💖🍕🍕💖💖

[@Bubblegumslushie]

Chef John I've been watching you for over 12 years on KZbin and I'm so glad I found you again. And you kept the intro music the same!!

[@maryschiff9580]

I have a friend who is allergic to all night shades so pizza is not usually part of her cooking repertoire. I will share this recipe with her. Thanks so much!

[@miaththered]

I am definitely trying this one, thanks!

[@jreese8284]

Yup, I saw it, and I was happier than I was before. Nice!

[@lyndelgado6138]

I'm definitely gonna try this one!

[@janeydoe1403]

OMG. I am so happy I watched this video! Thank you, Chef John.

[@joebandura8822]

Whenever I see jalapenos on pizza, I'm all in.

[@salvatorefarmerson3226]

Thank you. Will try

[@bonniepwtf]

I love everything about this one.🥰

[@HipHopSnoop]

Hi Chef John Thank you, for the great Recipe! This Sauce goes tomorrow’s Pizza for mr and my Daughter.

[@gertrude6737]

Chipotle in adobo goes great with sweet potato! I find I can tolerate chipotle heat much better than fresh jalapeno.

[@gapvicky]

Oh im definitely making this next week!

[@Proxima-J-]

Chef knew my OCD was triggered with than one Parmesan strand that had the wanderlust

[@ThorsonWiles]

Made this yesterday, using store bought (Aldi) pizza dough. (Spread it too thin, too quickly, and formed a hole, but that's on me.) The next time, the sweet potato spread, I think I'll make a bit thinner by adding a bit more oil, but this was excellent.

[@yumeccasimms3952]

I prepared my sweet potato pie mixture, along with my other Thanksgiving menu, for Thursday. I will be resting on that day.

[@heather9857]

Wow, this looks amazing❣ I have a recipe to make bacon out of tempeh that is tasty, I'm going to try it on this pizza.

[@karleedu]

OMG!!! My mouth is watering so bad! Shame on you for tempting us (HA HA HA)

[@nicholasjagneaux]

I'm thinking candied jalapeños would be great on top of this.

[@ewtam24]

Thank you!

[@MrAHCarstensen]

2:16 classic Chef John moment answering the question in my mind: now is he gonna mention parmigiano reggiano?

[@TheDingledong4lyfe]

this looks awesome

[@wildkingdom2012]

this looks so good. A nice change from the same ol', same ol'.

[@mjengel84]

Good grief! People commenting without watching the video… I’m going there now!

[@goatmasterflash]

Was not expecting a Basement Jaxx recall. Nice!

[@holdthelight11]

[@ndzapruder]

[@bizzwag]

You know for the way people argue over pineapple on pizza I think you putting this out there may want to think about hiring security.

[@SatanLiterally]

I've been planning to make your sfincione for five years or so now.

[@Henry5558]

Nice john

[@petergreenwald9639]

I buy a fairly large, pre-mixed, pizza dough from Aldi for around $1.25 to make sheet pizza. It comes out just like yours. I would, however, like to know how to make it a fair bit thinner.

[@themustar601]

Can you roll it out a bit thinner with a rolling pin? If it gets too big, you could cut some off the edges and make garlic knots

[@aaronlunzmann6534]

Girlfriend hates red pizza sauce, but love, sweet potatoes. This might be the strangest recipe that I’m actually gonna try.

[@zZmoctezumaZz]

Were you in Korea recently chef John?

[@HKgaming86]

Rich Gold Crust

[@lvdoowhop]

Chef John. This looks amazing as all of your recipe videos' do. However watching this, I wondered 🤔. How many videos have you taken and have not gotten the expected results? Shudder to think you could ever make a mistake or flub (I do love when you call them out). But how about a Blopper Real Video? I think it would be enjoyed by all your fans and subscribers. Something different (not that I dont love your videos, heck, Im making Avegolemeno tomorrow in a soup cookoff. Props if I win. Loose, well). Bloopers is a good end of year video (I think). Happy Holidays! Too all......

[@patriciaskeen794]

Looks a lot like DiGiorno’s “Thanksgiving Pizza” that Kroger sells!😊

[@MrJoel9679]

Genius!

[@doltsbane]

Could you do a quick and easy version by using canned pumpkin puree instead of the sweet potato?

[@txmike1945]

You could but it wouldn't be very good. Sweet potato has much more flavor.

[@prolly2stoned420]

Now the Italians are rioting in the streets. Thanks chef John.

[@HKgaming86]

GOOD

[@lesssalt]

For years, I've been searching for the secret ingredient of true cooking, only to realize it was simply looking out the window and trying not to think of anything.

[@typeviic1]

Wow, just noticed Chef John has no shrimp tacos recipe.

[@BUGZYFANG]

Oh my God, the commercials are atrocious

[@RogerDurand-pk7oq]

TBH, I hate thick crust, so its a non-start. However, I may try it applied to tortillas

[@GrimbornWolf]

I wonder if switching out the sweet potato with pumpkin would work too

[@Ay-B]

Basement Jaxx !!! 😍👍

[@touchofdumb]

You are a madman

[@norwegianguy9480]

That looks so good! I will try it!

[@LoveIsGreater.]

So long as there’s no 🍍🍍🍍, I’m good!

[@cpnd]

Shots fired. Someone call in the air raid. (Joking) It's ok, more pineapple for me.

[@rutgergeerling]

Do you use a special baking tray for this? Or will any simple one work?

[@pandoraeeris7860]

I bet it would be good with a very light drizzle of especially thick balsamic vinegar.

[@HKgaming86]

I see chef John tried Korean Dominoes

[@cincychris1]

Basement Jaxx? Chef John, where’s your head at?

[@TaylorHale-r7w]

Using convection or traditional bake on oven setting?

[@txmike1945]

Not an answer but, when I had an old style oven (think before the 1980s) I would use a perforated pizza pan and put it in the oven cold. Then I would set the oven to 420 and turn it on. The heat coming from below would make a crisp crust which is hard to get with modern ovens.

[@txmike1945]

Microwave sweet potatoes, quicker and uses less energy. Unless it is winter and you want to heat your kitchen. One of my favorite baked sweet potato use is in waffles with added shredded fresh ginger. I freeze them and after re-warming, eat a half for breakfast with butter or orange marmalade.

[@VladislavBabbitt]

You are the sleet tomato of your sweet potato.

[@donnawalker3910]

How do you fry bacon, on med high heat, without getting grease splatters all over the cook top?!! Curious minds want to know

[@AmericanGenXer]

Needs maple syrup. ;)

[@bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb-]

Looks like a focaccia than a pizza, but okay. Also what would you recommend for us wimpy people who can't deal with spicy peppers or those of us who are allergic to spicy peppers?

[@txmike1945]

How about "Leave them off."

[@kjdude8765]

Banana pepper rings would be good.

[@Thepotatohidingintheshadows]

Holy f&ck I’ve been doing this recipe for years except I use pumpkin puree and vinegar for acidity Allergic to tomatoes so it makes nice replacement for tomato sauce

[@themustar601]

Hey, that’s a good idea! I have a reaction to tomatoes (and most nightshades) also, never thought about using pumpkin purée as a replacement. Thanks!

[@Thepotatohidingintheshadows]

@ Im sure roasting sweet potatoes will make the sauce taste better but the canned pumpkin puree is just so convenient I’ve learned that it’ll never taste like true tomato sauce Only way I could describe it is vegan tasting tomato sauce

[@youtubehatesus2651]

my pizzas cook in about 15 min

Aside of the prejudice against pineapple pizza, i really think that instead of lemon this could turn out amazing with some pineapple on top and even better combined with the jalapeño.
