Heart Ache Pizza

Ingredients:
1 whole recipe dough
4 slices of bacon
2 baking potatoes
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (more or less)
12 oz mozzarella (more or less)
12 oz cheddar cheese (more or less)
enough Alfredo sauce to coat, (no more than 1 cup I believe)

Method:
Preheat 450*F. Grease pizza pan.

Slice the potatoes into thin, thin disks. Then slice into thin sticks. Like for hashbrowns. Saute until done (20-30 minutes on medium heat) with salt and pepper.

Lightly (or not) coat the pizza crust in Alfredo sauce. Top (in this order) Parmesan cheese (dusting would be the way you describe it), mozzarella cheese, potatoes, cheddar cheese, crumpled bacon and another dusting of Parmesan cheese for good luck.

Bake between 10-20 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Let sit for 5-10 minutes for consumption to fully enjoy the pizza and to let the cheese set.

Notes:
Very filling. Pairs welly with Chimay Blue.

Pizza Dough

Ingredients:
2-1/4 cups semolina flour
2 cups bread flour
generous pinch of salt (1/4 tsp)
1-1/2 cup warm water
3 tbsp sugar (or 1/4 cup honey)
1 package yeast (1/4oz, I think)
2 tbsp olive oil

Method:
1.) Combine sugar, warm water and yeast. Bloom 15-20 minutes. Add Oil
2.) Combine flours and salt. Mix.
3.) Bring yeast water to flour mixture and mix and knead. Add flour/water if sticky/dry.
4.) Overnight let it rest (best) or let it rest 1 hour (still very good)

Notes:
This dough is more than enough to divide into 3 whole 16" thin crust pizzas. Bake at 450*F and it should be ready in 9-15 minutes. For most pizzas.
