Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and prepare a round pizza pan.
Dust the baking surface lightly with cornmeal.
Mix active dry yeast with lukewarm water in a bowl, let rest for 2 minutes.
Add salt, olive oil, and honey, then gradually mix in all-purpose flour until a dough ball forms.
Knead briefly, cover the bowl, and let it rise in a warm place for 2 hours.

Baking

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your pizza pan.
Brush the edges with olive oil for extra crunch.
Spread shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

Topping and Serving

Once the crust is baked, add the crumbled bacon, chopped tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle the aioli over the topped pizza.
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
