Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface into a thin rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer dough to a baking sheet. Brush with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Cook 6 slices bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove and crumble, reserving 1 tbsp drippings.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, add 2 sliced onions and cook over medium until soft and golden, about 8 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Spread the onions over the dough, then scatter the crumbled bacon and 1.5 cups shredded cheese evenly on top.

  6. Step 6

    Bake until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly, about 12-15 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped chives, slice, and serve warm.
