Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + standing Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

30 15 45

Ingredients

3 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup warm water (120° to 130°)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 jar (10 ounces) sun-dried tomato pesto
1 large red onion, chopped
1/4 cup bacon bits
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) sharp shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add water and oil; mix until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef, garlic and pepper until meat is no longer pink; drain.
On a floured surface, roll dough into a 15-in. circle. Transfer to a greased 14-in. pizza pan. Build up edges slightly. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork. Bake at 450° for 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned.
Sprinkle crust with Parmesan cheese. Top with pesto, meat mixture, onion, bacon bits, and mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 6 slices.

There seemed to be a problem with the dough for us too. The toppings together tasted great but the crust wasnt right. Going to try it again.

We really enjoyed the flavor of the topping for this pizza. I think there may be an error for the crust recipe though. The 3 cups of flour seemed WAY too much and I only managed to knead in just over 2 cups. I will make this recipe again, but will use my regular dough recipe.
