Categories: Pizza/Flatbread

Ingredients

• Basic Pizza Dough (see recipe)
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 8 oz. assorted sausage, casings removed, meat crumbled
• All-purpose flour, for dusting
• Cornmeal, for dusting
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 4 cups shredded mozzarella
• 6 tbsp. grated Parmesan
• 3 oz. assorted sliced pepperoni
• 2 oz. thinly sliced salami
• 2 oz. thinly sliced ham, cut into thin ribbons
• 4 slices bacon, chopped and cooked

Directions

1. Divide the pizza dough in half and let come to room temp, uncovered, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the oven floor and preheat to 500.

2. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.

3. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out 1 piece of dough into a 12-inch round, about 1/8-inch thick. Dust a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet with cornmeal and lay the dough on top.

4. Spread half of the sauce on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle with half each of the mozzarella and Parmesan. Top with half each of the pepperoni, salami, ham, and cooked sausage.

5. Slice the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings. Top the pizzas with the bacon.
