Ingredients
  

Pizza Base
  • 1 12-inch pizza crust You can use pre-made crust or homemade dough.
Meats
  • 4-5 slices bacon, chopped Substitute with turkey bacon for a lower fat option.
  • 6 oz ground breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled You can use plant-based sausage as a substitute.
Vegetables
  • 1 small sweet red or orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
Cheese
  • 1 cup shredded provolone Gives melt and mildness.
  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack Add more or less to taste.
Sauce
  • 1/2-3/4 cup pizza sauce or olive oil plus garlic Use for a white base.
Oil and Seasonings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil For sautéing.
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, chopped scallions, or fresh cilantro for finishing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and chop if needed.
  3. Cook the sausage in the same skillet until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
  4. Add olive oil to the skillet, sauté the sliced peppers and onions until soft and slightly caramelized (about 6–8 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
  5. If desired, par-bake the crust: place on a baking sheet or hot stone and bake for 4–6 minutes until firm but not fully browned.
Assembly
  1. Spread pizza sauce or brush with olive oil and minced garlic evenly over the par-baked crust.
  2. Scatter the cooked sausage and bacon evenly across the crust followed by the sautéed peppers and onions.
  3. Sprinkle provolone and Pepper Jack evenly on top.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 8–12 minutes at 475°F until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden. Broil for 1–2 minutes for extra browning while watching closely.
  2. Remove from the oven, let rest for 2–3 minutes, then slice and serve, garnished with scallions or a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

For best results, use a pizza stone and high heat. Par-baking the crust prevents sogginess. Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
