Preparation
Step 1
Place pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread evenly with pizza sauce. Sprinkle with about 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup cheddar. Evenly sprinkle on cooked ground beef, bacon, and pickles; place tomatoes and onions on top of meat layer. Top with remaining cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees until cheese begins to bubble and brown slightly, about 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

Homemade Pizza Dough
Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl to proof the yeast. {Proofing dissolves the yeast and prepares it for use in the dough, as well as proves its active and alive so you know your dough will rise. You should see a bit of foam or tiny bubbles begin to form on the top of the yeast mixture after a few minutes. Use water that is 100-110 degrees F, which means it should feel just slightly warm to your fingers. Hotter water will kill the yeast.}
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center; pour in yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a soft dough forms. Turn the soft dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and springy.
Place dough in a large bowl that's been lightly coated with olive oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until nearly doubled in size.
Punch down risen dough and let rest for 10 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, use your hands and a rolling pin to gently shape dough into a round or rectangular crust.
Top your pizza and bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes.
