- 1 cup lukewarm water ((105 to 115 degrees F.))
- 2¼ cups all purpose flour (divided)
- One ¼ ounce package active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, (halved)
- 1 medium shallot, (sliced thinly)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil ((plus more for brushing))
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)
- One 12 ounce package bacon
- 2 medium avocados
- 4 handfuls arugula or watercress
Steps
In a large glass, whisk together the water, 1 tablespoon flour, yeast and sugar; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Using a food processor, combine the remaining flour and salt. With the machine running, pour in the yeast mixture and process until the dough forms a ball. Mix for another minute, then transfer the dough to a large greased bowl, turning the dough to coat. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
While the dough rises, in a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, shallot, olive oil and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature to marinate.
Preheat a large skillet; add the bacon and cook, turning once until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes Drain on paper towels, then chop into bite sized pieces. Mash the avocado in a medium bowl.
Preheat a griddle or large skillet to medium heat. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 4 pieces, then flatten each one into a disk. Stretch each disk into a 10-inch round. Brush one side of each round with olive oil. Transfer to the heated pan and place oiled-side-down. Cook, lightly, brushing the tops with more oil and flipping once, until browned, about 6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board (if making these one at a time, wrap them in foil to keep warm while you finish the rest).
Spread the avocado evenly on each crust, leaving a ¾ inch border. Toss the arugula with the tomato mixture and divide the salad mixture between the four pizzas. Sprinkle bacon pieces on top.
