Faster Homemade pizza

If you want to cheat for a faster method you can use store-bought pizza dough, jarred alfredo sauce and pre-cooked bacon. That said, if you have a chance to make this pizza at home from scratch, I highly recommend it. It’s such a delicious treat and homemade pizzas are incredible.

How to Make Alfredo Bacon Pizza

Here’s how to make homemade pizza:

Make pizza dough

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and brown sugar in water. Let sit 10 minutes.

Stir salt and oil into yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.

Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour. .

Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out.

Make alfredo sauce

Melt butter in saucepan on medium-low heat. Once butter has melted, whisk in flour.

Gradually add in milk, whisking to combine as you go.

Once all the milk has been added and it’s hot {do not boil!} add the cream cheese. Whisk to combine. Heat the sauce back up before adding Parmesan cheese. Simmer sauce until all is melted, and well mixed. Add in the salt, garlic powder and pepper to taste.

Add toppings to pizza

Stir garlic into alfredo sauce and then spoon sauce over the prepared pizza dough.

Top with half of the red onion and half of the mozzarella cheese.

Sprinkle with spinach and bacon. Top with remaining cheese and then the rest of the red onion.

Bake for 13-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Instructions

Make Pizza Dough

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and brown sugar in water. Let sit 10 minutes.
Stir salt and oil into yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.
Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before dividing the dough in half, rolling out each into a circle about 12-14″, depending on how thick you prefer the crust.

Make Alfredo Sauce

Melt butter in saucepan on medium-low heat. Once butter has melted, whisk in flour.
Gradually add in milk, whisking to combine as you go.
Once all the milk has been added and it’s hot {do not boil!} add the cream cheese. Whisk to combine. Heat the sauce back up before adding Parmesan cheese. Simmer sauce until all is melted, and well mixed. Add in the salt, garlic powder and pepper to taste.

Prepare the pizzas

Heat your oven to 450°F. Place oven rack in low position.
Stir garlic into alfredo sauce and then spoon sauce over the unbaked crusts.
Top each pizza with half of the red onion and half of the mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle with spinach and bacon. Top with remaining cheese.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes, then slice each pizza into 8 pieces.

Nutrition

What else can I add to this bacon pizza?

Adding some cooked shredded chicken to the top of this chicken would be a great way to use it up and add a new flavor to the yumminess. You can also add diced tomatoes, onions, or whatever else that you think might taste good.

Is Alfredo sauce the same as white pizza sauce?

They’re incredibly similar and can be used interchangeably. The biggest difference is that white sauce contains more seasonings and less cheese while alfredo sauce is mainly Parmesan cheese-based.

Can Alfredo bacon pizza be prepped in advance?

Yes. You can make the pizza dough ahead of time and store it in the fridge, in an airtight container. Then when you’re ready to make your pizza you can set it on the counter to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes before using as directed.

You can also completely assemble the pizza and wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to a day before baking and using, giving you a good chance to meal prep.
