Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons white sugar
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 6 potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 (8 ounce) package marbled Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup bacon bits, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Make the dough: Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a small bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Combine flour and salt together in a large bowl. Pour yeast mixture and oil over flour. Mix and knead until a sticky dough forms, about 5 minutes. Place dough into a large, lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: Place potatoes into a large pot; pour in enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

Step 5

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add potatoes and cook until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Whisk sour cream and garlic powder together in a small bowl.

Step 7

Gently pat and stretch dough into a 12-inch circle on a pizza stone. Spread sour cream mixture evenly over dough. Layer potatoes on top to cover dough completely, then sprinkle with cheese, green onions, and bacon bits.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
