Step 9 - Remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for 5 minutes then top with the arugula and olive oil mixture. Garnish it with parmesan cheese, slice it in equal pieces and serve hot!

Extra Tips For The Bacon Cheese Pizza

1. The bacon should be cooked to a crisp and brown for this recipe, otherwise, it will become too soft in the sauce and cheese. You should always prefer cooking it over bacon oven racks for more crispy bacon slices. Use BaKrisp®️ Bacon Oven Racks for better results and later certainly you can add more bacon if you'd like it at the top of your pizza.
2. Instead of home-prepared pizza base, you can also use ready-made pizza bases available in the market. It will simplify the process.
3. You should always try to mix two varieties of cheese for amazing flavour.
4. You can pre-bake the pizza crust to avoid the sogginess.
