Ingredients
- 1 pound prepared pizza dough, at room temperature
- all-purpose flour, for dusting
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 8-oz. can tomato sauce
- 2 Tablespoons EVOO
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, about 4 oz.
- 1 cup shredded white cheddar, about 4 oz.
- 1 Tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
Preparation
Step 1
1. Put a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 475F for at least 15 min.
2. Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a 9-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Lightly dust a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet with flour; lay the round of dough on top and set aside.
3. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until crisp, about 6 min. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Combine the tomato sauce, olive oil, garlic, and oregano in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper.
4. Slide the dough directly onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake until lightly golden and puffy, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then carefully slice the crest in half horizontally with a serrated knife to make 2 thin crusts.
5. Turn the crusts cut side up. Spread with the sauce mixture, then top evenly with mozzarella, cheddar and bacon. Slide the pizzas back onto the hot stone or baking sheet; bake until the cheese melts and the crust is golden; about 8 more min. Sprinkle with the parmesan.
