Alfredo Tomato & Bacon Pizza

Homemade pizza dough + homemade Alfredo sauce + juicy ripe tomatoes and herbs + bacon = Mmm…homemade pizza-licious:)

I know your thinking that’s way to much work for a few minutes of “pizza pleasure”, on the contrary it’s really not as much work as you think. If you have a bread machine your half done. Now throw on some butter and cream to simmer, add some Parmesan cheese and in less than 20 min. your sauce is done.

Now slice a tomato, chop a few herbs and open some real bacon bits (or cook the bacon slices).
When the dough is done rising, roll it out and slather your sauce on.
Load on your toppings preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and toss that bad boy in.

I told you it was easy to do~ now open wide and take a bite!

Mmmm….Convinced yet? You wont’ regret it unless… well, you eat the whole pizza by yourself.

Now that your salivating here are the recipes you need to get cooking!

Directions:
Step 1: If using a bread machine put all ingredients into the bread pan and start the dough cycle and wait until it beeps 🙂

Step 4: When dough has risen long enough turn out onto a floured surface and shape into a ball. Roll ball our into about a 11 inch. circle. With a fork prick the dough evenly all over so you won’t have bubbles when baking.
