Pierogi Pizza

Two of my favorite things blended together; tastes like pierogis on a pizza. Tasty potatoes are spread on a pizza crust and covered in all the traditional pierogi fixings - bacon, cheese, and green onions. Slice and serve with plain sour cream for dipping.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons white sugar
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 6 potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 (8 ounce) package marbled Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• ¼ cup bacon bits, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a small bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Combine flour and salt together in a large bowl. Pour yeast mixture and 1/4 cup olive oil over flour. Mix and knead until a sticky dough forms, about 5 minutes. Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Step 4

Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil; cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add potatoes and cook until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Whisk sour cream and garlic powder together in a small bowl to make pizza "sauce".

Step 7

Gently pat and stretch pizza dough out to a 12-inch circle on a pizza stone. Spread sauce evenly over dough. Layer potatoes on top to cover dough completely. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon bits on top.

Step 8

Bake pizza in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
