Notes


PRO TIPS
Always allow your pizza dough to come to room temperature before rolling it out. It’ll make the process easier.
Fancy a spicy kick? Add some red chili flakes!
Opt for a pre-made whole grain pizza crust for added nutrition.
If baked beans in tomato sauce aren’t your thing, look for baked beans in barbecue sauce for a twist!
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Cut your baked bean pizza into classic triangle slices or try rectangular ones for a change!
Serve with a side of mixed greens salad drizzled with vinaigrette.
A dollop of sour cream on the side can enhance the taste.
Have leftover baked beans? Use them as a topping for nachos or a filling for sandwiches.
