Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Pizza Dough:
– Follow the instructions on your pizza crust mix to prepare the dough. This may involve mixing the mix with water and allowing it to rest for a few minutes.
– Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
3. Par-Bake the Crust:
– Place the rolled-out pizza dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
– Brush the dough with a little olive oil to prevent it from getting soggy.
– Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes. This helps ensure the crust cooks evenly and stays crispy.
4. Sauce and Toppings:
– After the crust has par-baked, remove it from the oven.
– Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
– Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
– Add a layer of pepperoni slices.
– Distribute the crispy bacon and crumbled sausage over the pizza.
– Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
– If desired, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
5. Bake to Perfection:
– Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown to your liking.
6. Slice and Serve:
– Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
– Enjoy your homemade bacon and sausage pizza!
