Smash Burger Pizza

Prepare the dough: mix flour, water and a pinch of salt until a smooth ball forms; let it rest briefly.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (425°F).

Shape the rested dough into a pizza base and place it on a baking sheet.

Cook the ground beef (or optional ground chicken or turkey) in a hot pan until browned; season to taste.

Cook the bacon (or optional turkey bacon) until crisp; set aside.

Caramelize the onion in a little of the rendered bacon fat, being careful not to over‑oil the pan.

Spread a mixture of mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard over the pizza base as a sauce.

Layer the cooked meat, caramelized onion, bacon, and shredded light cheddar cheese on top of the sauce.

Add sliced pickles as a finishing topping.

Bake the assembled pizza in the preheated oven for about 12‑15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, slice, and serve hot.
