The Perfect Pizza Crust
I have been making homemade pizza crusts for YEARS. Having tried well over 20 recipes, I was never 100% satisfied until I took all of my favorite aspects from what I had tried, and then I created the perfect pizza crust. It takes practice and a bit of mastery to create any type of homemade bread, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature and you will be able to whip up a few fresh pizza crusts in just under an hour!
Pizza Marinara Sauce
Say goodbye to the store bought pizza sauce forever! Pizza Marinara Sauce is super easy to make yourself and it is way tastier than the store bought stuff. Homemade marinara sauce actually tastes like pizza sauce, with a small hint of sweetness from the basil, accompanied by a tangy spice from the red pepper flakes. And to make it even better, it freezes like an absolute dream!
"cheeseburger" filling
For the cheeseburger filling, all you have to do is put all of the "typical" burger ingredients into a fry pan and fry it up into this lusciously rich burger filling. I mean it even looks delicious before its fully a pizza!
Next pile on the marinara sauce, cheddar cheese, cheeseburger filling, and most importantly the bacon!
Also, for a little added flair I brushed the edges with olive oil and sprinkled on some sesame seeds.
Then just pop it into the oven and in 14 short minutes you will have a piping hot pizza ready to be gobbled up!
