Steps

1

In a bowl, combine bread flour, dry yeast, and sugar. Pour the hot water over the dry yeast and mix well to dissolve the yeast.
2

Once the yeast is dissolved, add olive oil and salt, and mix everything together thoroughly.
3

Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead until the flour is no longer visible.
4

Form the dough into a ball, return it to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
5

Punch down the dough to remove air, reshape it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for another 10 minutes. The pizza dough is now ready.
6

Preheat the oven to 392°F (200°C).
7

Grease a cake pan (not included in ingredient list) and spread the pizza dough on the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
8

Spread meat sauce on the bottom of the dough, then layer with sliced bacon, mushrooms, pizza cheese, and cheese fondue.
9

Repeat step 8 three to four times, finishing with a layer of cheese fondue to cover the filling completely.
10

Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until done.
