Herb Bacon Flat Bread Pizza

I love pizza any kind works for me. This flat bread pizza is off the charts. It works very well for a lunch time snack or even an appetizer to wow your guests for dinner. The dough has a little crunch on the outside and soft on the inside and it takes very little time to make it. With only a couple of steps it makes a great base. Just show the dough some love and it turns out perfect. The great herb sauce with garlic gives such a great aroma when baking it and the basil hits just the right notes. The bacon gives a nice smokey flavor and the freshness of the green onions pairs very well together. Read on to find out how to make it. Enjoy!
