Hungry-Man's Pizza

Let's get one thing straight: this is not just another pizza; it's the Hungry Man's Pizza, tailored for those with an insatiable appetite for life (and pizza, obviously). Imagine a foundation of perfectly risen dough, layered with robust pizza sauce and smothered in gooey mozzarella cheese. But we don't stop there. We're loading this beauty up with crispy bacon, juicy cherry tomatoes, zesty capers, earthy mushrooms, and rich olives. It's a feast on a crust, a pizza that means business.

Ingredients

Hungry-Man Pizza

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 2 tablespoon capers
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • ½ cup olives sliced

Instructions

  • Fry the bacon on a plate with paper towels to soak up the fat. Slice up the tomatoes, mushrooms and olives.
  • Preheat oven to 500℉.
  • Roll out your pizza dough and place it on a oiled pizza pan, no need to oil the pan, if you're using a stone.
  • Assemble the pizza, start with the pizza sauce, mozzarella then the rest of the ingredients.
  • Bake the pizza for about 15 minutes or until done.

Notes

  1. Dough Prep: If you're in a time crunch, store-bought dough works, but if you want that heavenly homemade touch, start the dough a day ahead.
  2. Bacon Bits: To save time and effort, consider pre-cooked bacon. It'll get crispy in the oven regardless.
  3. Toppings: Feel free to customize but remember, the essence of a Hungry Man's Pizza is its generous topping load. Go big or go home!
  4. Baking: A 500 F degree oven is your best friend here. That high heat ensures a crispy crust and well-cooked toppings.<
  5. Serving Size: This makes enough for two full pizzas, so if you're cooking for one, simply halve the recipe or refrigerate the extra dough for another pizza adventure.
