Preparation Steps
1
Sift the all-purpose flour into a large bowl. Add the dry yeast, salt, and sugar, then mix to combine.
2
Pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil, and start kneading. Work the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
3
Dice the bacon into small pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, or until crispy.
4
Divide the risen dough into two equal parts. On a lightly floured surface, roll each part into a circular shape.
5
Spread Dijon mustard over one half of each dough circle. Top with crispy bacon, grated mozzarella, and cheddar cheese.
6
Sprinkle with oregano, basil, and a pinch of black pepper.
7
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal, preventing the filling from leaking.
8
Brush the top with beaten egg, and use a fork to prick a few holes to allow steam to escape during baking.
9
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
