How to Make a Delicious Bacon Ham Pizza

Making a mouthwatering bacon ham pizza at home is simple and rewarding. Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting this savory classic.

Ingredients:

- 1 pre-made pizza dough or store-bought base

- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (marinara or white sauce)

- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

- 6-8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

- 6-8 slices ham, torn into pieces

- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

- Toppings: Sliced red onions, bell peppers, or olives (optional)

- Olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep: Heat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush the base lightly with olive oil.

2. Sauce & Cheese: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese first, then add bacon and ham pieces.

3. Season & Bake: Dust with Parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese bubbles.

4. Finish & Serve: Let it cool for 2 minutes, then slice. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Tips: For extra crispiness, pre-cook the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings. Customize with veggies or a drizzle of honey for sweet-savory balance. Enjoy your homemade bacon ham pizza—it’s perfect for any occasion!
