Ingredients
- 150 g all-purpose 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
- 0.5 onion
- 0.5 green bell pepper
- to taste tomato pasta sauce
Instructions
- 1Mix the dough ingredients

Combine the all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, salt, water, and olive oil in a stand mixer bowl. Use the dough hook attachment to mix the ingredients on a low speed until they come together into a smooth, cohesive ball of dough.
Tip: Ensure your water is lukewarm to help the yeast activate properly. - 2Prepare the pizza base

After the dough has proofed and been rolled into flat rounds, arrange them on a baking sheet. Use a pastry brush to apply a thin, even layer of tomato pasta sauce over the surface of each dough round, leaving a small border for the crust.
Tip: Poke small holes in the dough with a fork before adding sauce to prevent large air bubbles from forming while baking. - 3Slice the toppings

On a wooden cutting board, carefully slice the half onion and half green bell pepper into thin strips. Also, cut the four slices of bacon into bite-sized pieces, ensuring all your toppings are prepped and ready for assembly.
Tip: Keep your knife sharp for cleaner cuts on the vegetables and to slice through the bacon easily. - 4Assemble the pizza

Distribute the sliced bacon, onions, and green bell peppers evenly over the tomato sauce base. Finally, sprinkle a generous layer of mozzarella cheese over the top of the toppings, ensuring good coverage for a cheesy finish.
Tip: Dont overload the center of the pizza with too many vegetables to ensure it bakes through evenly.
