Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add chopped bacon and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain excess fat and set aside.

  3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg and water mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with parmesan cheese or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
