Instructions

Pizza Crust

  1. In a medium bowl, add the warm water and yeast. Whisk with a fork for about a minute and then let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture starts looking real frothy.

  2. Next, add in the sugar, salt, and olive oil. Mix this together for about 2 minutes.

  3. Then, add in the flour and mix until dough comes together. Then let rise in an oiled bowl for 40 minutes or until doubled.

  4. *Roll out on floured surface and place on a pizza pan with parchment paper. Then, roll the edges of the pizza crust inward to hold in your toppings.

  5. Pre-bake this crust for 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Assembling the pizza

  1. Spread ½ cup pizza sauce onto your pre-baked crust. Then, alternate adding cooked bacon and mozzarella cheese to the top.

  2. Then, bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

Recipe Notes

* Using parchment paper when baking can help your oven stay clean but it's completely up to you if you want to use it.

*Halfway through cooking, spread melted butter around the pizza crust and sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese on it for added flavor and crunch.
