Ingredients

  • 16 oz pizza dough
  • 1 cup (225g) tomato sauce
  • 6 oz (170g) whole milk mozzarella
  • 15 pepperoni slices
  • 4 oz sweet Italian sausage, cooked and chopped into pieces
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • red pepper flakes to taste, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 550°F (285°C).

  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 16” round disk. Be careful not to create any holes. If you are having trouble getting the dough to keep its shape, dust the top of the dough with flour as you stretch it.

  3. If using a pizza stone, dust the surface with cornmeal. If using a pizza pan or sheet pan, rub a small amount of olive oil on the surface.

  4. Lay the dough over your desired pan, and par bake the dough for 8 to 10 minutes or until pale tan. If the dough begins to balloon up, poke the bubbles with a skewer or knife.

  5. Remove the pan from the oven and top the dough with the sauce. Top the pizza evenly with mozzarella.

  6. Top the pizza with pepperoni slices, sausage, and bacon. Add red pepper flakes if desired.

  7. Dust the top with the Italian seasoning.

  8. Place the pizza back into the oven and bake for another 10 to 12 minutes. The pizza is ready when the cheese bubbles slightly and the crust has browned at the bottom. Use a metal spatula to check underneath the pizza for browning.
  9. Allow the pizza to cool for at least three minutes before slicing.
