Potato Bacon Pizza Recipe

Recipe by: cookingmama

"This is an Idaho favorite, and especially my family's. We make it every time we have company (and I always receive compliments!). This is a recipe I created after eating the same style of pizza at one of the college pizza shops here in town."

1Place potato slices in a deep skillet and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; set aside to cool.
2Place bacon slices in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; set aside to cool.
3Heat cream, butter, and garlic together in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted, about 5 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese; stir until melted. Reduce heat to low and simmer sauce, uncovered, until thick, about 5 minutes.
4Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease 2 pizza pans.
5Combine warm water, honey, and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
6Stir oil into yeast mixture. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough starts to come together. Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface. Knead, adding more flour as you work, until dough is no longer sticky. Divide dough into 2 pieces and roll out to the size of your pizza pans; transfer to greased pans.
7Bake in the preheated oven until crusts are lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and spread sauce over both crusts. Cover sauce with potato slices. Crumble bacon slices over potatoes and cover with mozzarella cheese.
8Bake pizzas in the preheated oven until crusts are golden brown and cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes.

Footnotes

Cook's Notes:
Substitute white sugar for the honey, if preferred.
Use small baking sheets instead of pizza pans, if desired.
Tip
Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.
