Bacon and Mushroom Pizza Recipe

Italian-American · Main course · 35 min total

A classic combination of crispy bacon and earthy mushrooms on a cheesy pizza, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside.
2. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon fat.
3. Add mushrooms to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Season with pepper.
4. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper.
5. Spread pizza sauce over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with mozzarella, then mushrooms and bacon. Sprinkle with oregano and Parmesan.
6. Slide pizza (on parchment) onto preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
7. Let cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a drizzle of truffle oil after baking.
• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a hot oven or skillet.
