How to Make Garlic Parmesan Bacon Burger Pizza Spirals
Prepare to embark on a delicious culinary journey as you create these visually stunning and flavor-packed Garlic Parmesan Bacon Burger Pizza Spirals.
Step 1 — Prep Work
Begin by preparing your pizza dough according to the package instructions, allowing it to rise to its full potential. Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces. In a separate pan, sauté the ground beef with garlic, salt, and pepper, creating a flavorful burger filling.
Step 2 — Main Cooking Process
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle. Spread the cooked ground beef mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and grated parmesan cheese over the top, pressing them gently into the beef to adhere.
Step 3 — Final Steps/Assembly
Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a spiral, ensuring that the filling is neatly encased within. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick spirals, revealing the beautiful layered pattern of the filling.
Step 4 — Finishing Touches
Arrange the spirals on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Brush the tops of the spirals with a beaten egg or olive oil for a golden, shiny finish. Bake the Garlic Parmesan Bacon Burger Pizza Spirals in a preheated oven until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
