Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 12-oz. frozen pizza dough, thawed
• 1 1/2 cups mashed potatoes, seasoned
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/2 cup canned corn, drained
• 1/4 cup slivered red onions
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Asiago cheese

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spread oil on a large sheet pan, and place the thawed pizza dough on the oil. Press the dough out into a 12-inch circle, and then put the pan on top of the stove so the dough will be warm as it rises. Let stand for about 5 minutes. Bake the pizza dough for 7 minutes.
2. Remove dough from oven and dollop spoonfuls of mashed potatoes over the crust. Gently spread to cover, leaving a small rim uncovered. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, corn and red onions over the mashed potatoes, and tap lightly with a spoon to make sure they sink in a little. Cover with Asiago cheese.
3. Bake for another 15-18 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and the crust is golden. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 8 wedges. Serve immediately.
