Kentucky Hot Brown Pizza

April 27, 2014

Crisp, homemade pizza crust topped with turkey breast, crispy bacon, zesty tomatoes, pizza cheese and two helpings of cheesy Mornay sauce!

for the crust:
1/2 c. warm water (about 110 degrees F)
1 envelope (2 1/4 t.) instant yeast (I like Red Star Platinum)
1 1/4 c. room temperature water
2 T. olive oil
4 c. (22 oz.) bread flour, plus more for kneading
1 1/2 t. salt

for the toppings:
1 pre-cooked turkey breast, meat picked and shredded of the bone
1 lb. bacon, cooked and broken into 1-inch pieces
1 can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained and juice reserved
4 c. shredded pizza cheese
2 T. unsalted butter
2 T. flour
2 c. whole milk
1 1/2 c. fresh Parmesan cheese, finely grated (best quality you can afford)
1/2 t. salt
cracked black pepper

for the crust: Combine the warmed water and yeast in a 2 cup measuring cup. In a very large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of the bread flour and the salt. Pour the room temperature water and the olive oil...
