I loved everything about this recipe, from Tyler Florance

- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 cups warm water (100 to 110° F)
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 6 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for bowl
- 2 tablespoons King Arthur Pizza Dough Flavor Enhancer*(optional)
- For the pizza topping:
- 3 to 4 baby Yukon gold fingerling potatoes, finely sliced
- 1/2 small onion, finely sliced (I used one small Vidalia onion)
- 6 slices applewood smoked bacon, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to grease pan
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced (optional, but tastes great)
- 1 cup shredded fontina cheese (I used two cups)
- For the grand finale*:
- 1 cup baby arugula, optional

- The arugula and fresh lemon juice is what made all the flavors come together. I highly recommend it!
- NOTE: I buy King Arthur Pizza Dough Flavor Enhancer, which makes all of my pizza, from their website. It makes pizza dough taste even better!
