California Flatbread
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 3 plum tomatoes, sliced
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough, at room temperature
- 6 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 cups radish sprouts
- 3 cups baby arugula
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Add the tomatoes to the drippings in the pan and cook, turning once, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- Brush a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
- Stretch the pizza dough to fit the pan (if the dough shrinks back, let it rest a few minutes before continuing).
- Prick the dough all over with a fork.
- Top with the tomatoes, reserving the bacon drippings.
- Bake until the crust is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the flatbread from the oven; top with the goat cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the sprouts and arugula with 1/2 tablespoon of the reserved bacon drippings (rewarm, if necessary), the lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
- Top the flatbread with the greens and bacon.
