Zubereitung von Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza
- **Make the Pizza Sauce:**
- Sauté 1 1/2 cups chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil until softened.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (24 ounce) jar pizza sauce (or homemade – see optional step below), 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 1/4 cup fresh, chopped), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional), 1 teaspoon sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Discard the bay leaf. Set aside to cool.
- **Make the Pizza Dough:**
- In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup warm water and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl constantly.
- Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
- Stir in as much of the remaining flour as possible with a spoon.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead in enough remaining flour to make a smooth, elastic dough.
- Divide the dough in half, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Grease two 11- to 13-inch pizza pans.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough half into a circle slightly larger than the pizza pan.
- Transfer to pans, build up the edges slightly, and prick generously with a fork. Do not let rise.
- **Assemble and Bake:**
- Bake the crusts in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook 1 pound ground beef and 1/2 cup chopped onion until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess fat.
- Spread the cooled pizza sauce over the hot crusts.
- Sprinkle with the ground beef mixture.
- Top with 1 cup tomato slices and 6 slices of crumbled cooked bacon.
- Sprinkle generously with 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for another 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- **Optional Homemade Pizza Sauce:** If making your own pizza sauce, follow steps 1-4 above, cooling completely before using.
- **Make-Ahead Tip:** Pizza sauce can be made ahead, cooled, and frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.
