4.84 from 6 votes

Ingredients  

  • 1 lbs pizza dough
  • 8 slices of thick-cut bacon
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 sprigs of rosemary, leaves only
  • 1 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, paper thin sliced with a mandolin
  • 8 oz Goat cheese, crumbled
  • Grated Pecorino cheese to taste
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • White Truffle oil to serve, optional

Instructions 

  • Place a pizza stone in the lower third of your oven and pre heat your oven to 550F degrees for at least 30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into two equal parts, roll them out until 1/2" thick and 12" in diameter and season each with olive oil, salt and pepper. Reserve.
  • Lay the bacon slices on a baking sheet and bring to the oven for about 5 minutes or until the bacon is cooked but not yet golden and crispy. Slice bacon into medium chunks. Reserve.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the sliced onions until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the rosemary leaves and let them sweat a little bit, for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and reserve.
  • To assemble each pizza, transfer rolled dough to a pizza peel covered with a sheet of parchment paper. Start by layering 1/2 the bacon and 1/2 the potatoes on the bottom.
  • On top of that, add 1/2 the onion/rosemary mixture and finish with 1/2 the goat cheese. Sprinkle some olive oil on top.
  • Repeat these steps with the remaining pizza dough.
  • Open the oven and slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) off the peel onto the pizza stone.
  • Bake the pizza for 5 to 6 minutes or until the crust is slightly browned. Repeat with the second pizza.
  • Once the pizzas are out of the oven, sprinkle them with some grated Pecorino cheese.
  • Serve with white truffle oil on the side.
