    Bacon and cheese? Good combo!

    -10 points for presentation though.
  • Its way better if you use Mozzarella. Drizzle olive oil over at the end as well, and use some Italian herb mix over the passata.

    You're meant to put the meat ontop of the cheese

    My pizza is never chewed, it's inhaled :lol:

    Also, I've tried having the bacon on top before, but it goes crispy, which I dont like.

    Did you make the dough from scratch? If so, that's earnt you some extra points.

    I'd say a little rounder would have been good, lost a point or two there.

    Some herbs would have been good, lost some there too.

    And the ultimate combo, is cheese, then bacon, then more cheese. It's the only way.

    6.5/10 Good effort, but keep concentrating next time.

    When you find one, could you link please, or type up basic instructions. I'm terrible when it comes to stuff like this :oops:

    i like simple pizzas so 7/10. more floavours required though, it's bit too simple :lol:
  • Sadly, my dough recipe is in "cups". Still works well though :)

    Also depends how much you want to make and how thick it needs to be.

    1/2 cup of water
    1 tbsp castor sugar (or clear honey)
    1/2 tsp salt
    1tsp sunflower oil
    1 1/2 cup of strong white bread flour
    3/4 tsp Fast Acting yeast

    kneading it is the worst bit, takes forever (unless like me you have a bread maker you can use).

    For the Passata, I just use a tin of tomatoes with garlic and herbs from Tesco ( :oops: ), a little tomato puree, some tomato sauce and a drop of clear honey.

    Did you make the dough completely from scratch?

    Did you make a proper pizzaiola sauce (tomato base)?

    Why did you use bacon?

    Where's the oregano?

    Where's the chillies?

    Apart from that, good effort. 6/10.

    Yes, dough was made using recipe above your post

    Sort of, see post above yours

    Why did you use bacon?
    because it's nice and it's just about the only thing in the house that yould go with pizza

    Where's the oregano?
    In the passata / pizziola sauce stuff

    Where's the chillies?
    :oops:

    Apart from that, good effort. 6/10.

    I upgrade you to 7/10 then...!

    For the best ever tomato sauce, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil until it's smoking (very hot), chuck a crushed clove of garlic and dried oregano in, quickly chunk in a tin of chopped toms (before the garlic burns) and keep on a fierce heat and stir regularly for around 8 mins or until it's "glossy" - absolutely lush and also good with pasta.

    Crispy bacon is an EPIC fail!

    But I think that's a subject for another thread.
