Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 cup lukewarm water
• cooking spray
• 10 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• 1 (14 ounce) package frozen French fries (such as McCain®)
• 1 (12 ounce) bag shredded Mexican cheese blend (such as Kraft®)
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can beef gravy, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place flour in a large bowl. Whisk water, egg, yeast, and sugar together in a cup. Make a well in the flour and pour in yeast mixture. Stir until mixture forms a smooth dough, adding a small amount of flour or water if needed. Cover bowl with a towel; set aside to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake fries in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and fry bacon pieces until browned, about 5 minutes; remove to drain on a paper towel.

Step 5

Spray a round pizza pan with baking spray.

Step 6

Punch down dough, and flatten onto pizza pan. For a stuffed crust, sprinkle about 1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend around the edge of the dough, roll dough inward over cheese, and pinch dough to seal.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over dough. Spread fries over dough; pour gravy over fries as needed to cover. Top with remaining Mexican cheese blend. Sprinkle bacon pieces evenly over pizza.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden, about 20 minutes.
