Bacon, Tomato And Arugula Pizza - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
2 1/2 cup bread flour
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon
4 strips bacon, cut into large pieces
1 small onion, sliced into rings
1 tsp tomato paste
1 - 14 oz can diced tomatoes
1 tsp chopped rosemary
4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp pine nuts
1 handful arugula

Preparation

Stir the yeast into 3/4 cup warm water until dissolved. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and 3 tablespoons of oil and mix together. Add the yeast mixture and mix into a dough with a wooden spoon, adding a dash more water if the dough is dry. Turn out onto a clean surface and knead for 5 minutes. Place in a clean bowl, cover, and let stand in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450\u00b0F. Heat the remaining oil in a pan and cook the bacon until cooked through. Lift out of the pan and add the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, tomatoes, rosemary, and salt and pepper to the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and cook gently for 10 minutes until thickened.
Meanwhile, cut the dough in half and roll out each half to a thin round. Place on baking sheets.
Spread the tomato sauce over the dough and scatter with the bacon, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and pine nuts. Bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Scatter with arugula to serve.
