½ cup sliced pepperoni

¼ cup pickles (optional)

½ small red onion, sliced

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

3. Brush the edges with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds on the crust for a burger bun look.

4. Spread pizza sauce or ketchup-mayo mix over the dough.

5. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

6. Add cooked meat, bacon, pepperoni, pickles, and red onion.

Step 4: Bake

1. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
