Directions
Cut bacon into 1-inch pieces, cook over medium heat until crispy.
Drain on paper toweling and discard excess fat. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Roll pizza dough onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; pat into a 13 x 11-inch rectangle or a 12-inch circle.
Bake at 400℉ (200℃) F for 8 minutes. Remove crust from oven, and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust.
Arrange tomato slices and cheese slices on crust, leaving a ½-inch border.
Bake at 400℉ (200℃) F for 12 minutes or until cheese melts and crust is golden.
Sprinkle pizza evenly with basil and bacon bits. Cut into slices and serve warm.
