There was this little "hole in the wall" pizza place that my grandparents use to take me to many years ago and they served a "German pizza". It was loaded with sauer kraut and Canadian bacon. I have NEVER been a fan, AT ALL!, of sauer kraut. So this did not sound very appetizing at all. We were with a group and ordered several different types of pizzas and "The German" being one of which we had and, I, being the daring person I am, tried it and much to my surprise, I LOVED IT!!!! I had to try making this at home and this is what I finally came up with:
pizza crust (of your choice, I highly recommend a cracker thin crust for this)
1/4 cup of pizza sauce (I like Contadina brand)
6 oz. sauer kraut (I don't recommend the canned kind)
Canadian bacon (I just buy the pre-sliced kind, any brand that you like)
fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
1) Spread pizza sauce on crust (if you are using fresh crust from dough, you will need to par-bake it first)
2) Place a thin layer of the Canadian bacon covering the sauce
3) Spread the sauer kraut over the bacon
4) Spread cheese over sauer kraut
5) Bake off at a high temp for as long as it takes for the cheese to get hot and bubbly and starts to turn golden and for the crust to get crisp. I have a convection setting on my oven so I set the temp at 450 and bake the pizza until the cheese starts melting and then I turn on the convection setting to finish off.
