Homemade Crispy Bacon Cheese Pizza

Make a delicious homemade bacon cheese pizza featuring a golden-brown crust, savory bacon strips, and stretchy melted mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

• 150 g medium-gluten flour
• 1.5 g yeast
• 10 g sugar
• 1 g salt
• 80 ml water
• 10 ml olive oil
• 4 slices bacon
• 80 g mozzarella cheese
• to taste tomato paste
• 0.5 onion
• 0.5 green pepper

Instructions

1. 1Prepare and Knead the Dough

   

   Place the medium-gluten flour, yeast, sugar, salt, water, and olive oil into a stand mixer bowl. Knead the ingredients until they form a smooth dough, then leave it to ferment until it doubles in size.

   Tip: Ensure the water is at room temperature to avoid killing the yeast.
2. 2Shape and Base the Crust

   

   Roll the fermented dough into flat circles and place them on a baking sheet. Poke small holes across the surface using a fork, then evenly brush the base with tomato paste.

   Tip: Poking holes prevents the crust from bubbling up too much while baking.
3. 3Prep the Vegetables and Bacon

   

   Slice the onion and green pepper into thin, uniform strips on a cutting board right next to your pre-sliced strips of bacon.

   Tip: Keep the vegetable strips thin and uniform so they cook evenly on the pizza.
4. 4Assemble Pizza Toppings

   

   Layer the bacon slices, onion strips, and green pepper strips evenly over the prepared pizza base, and finish by generously sprinkling shredded mozzarella cheese over everything.

   Tip: Distribute the cheese evenly to ensure a nice, gooey layer across the entire pizza.
5. 5Bake Until Golden

   

   Preheat your oven to 200°C, place the pizza pans inside, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the cheese color during the final minutes to prevent burning.
