Ingredients

TOPPINGS

2 cups Fries instructions below*
2 cups Mozzarella cheese
1 cup Bacon instructions below*
1 cup Cheddar cheese curds
1½ cup Poutine gravy instructions below*

WILD PIZZA DOUGH

2 cups Sourdough starter active
1 cup Bread flour
1 tsp Salt

FRIES*

3 large Potatoes
1 tbsp Oil
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper

GRAVY*

½ cup Beef broth
½ cup Chicken broth
2 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Flour
½ tsp Pepper

Instructions

WILD PIZZA DOUGH (1 hour)

Make your dough by mixing the sourdough starter, bread flour (adding a bit of flour at a time until it takes shape but is still a little sticky) and salt together. Knead the dough for 30 seconds, flour lightly as needed.
Place the wild dough in a lightly floured bowl and cover with a towel, set aside for 1 hour. (The pizza steel or stone needs to preheat for 1 hour as well, so preheat oven to 550°F after you finish making your pizza dough).

BACON*

Bake bacon in oven on parchment paper lined baking pan at 420°F for 15 minutes, then flip. Cook bacon an additional 5-10 minutes, or until cooked (make sure not to overcook it because it will be cooking in the oven for an additional 10 minutes on the pizza)
Remove bacon and drain on paper towel lined plate. Let cool, then chop into bite sized pieces, reserve 1 cup.

FRIES*

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Peel, rinse and slice potatoes into medium cut fries. Soak potatoes in a large bowl with cold water for 30 minutes, then strain, rinse and dry.
Place potatoes onto a parchment paper lined baking pan. Add oil, salt and pepper and mix well. Bake for 1 hour @ 400°F turning the fries once, halfway through. Remove from oven and reserve 2 cups of fries.

GRAVY*

On medium heat melt butter in large saucepan, careful not to burn. Add flour and whisk furiously for 30 seconds, still being careful not to burn. Add beef, chicken broth and pepper and whisk until smooth, cook until desired consistency. Remove from heat, let cool slightly and reserve 2 x ¾ cup of gravy.

PIZZA

Preheat oven to 550°F with baking steel or pizza stone inside the oven for 1 hour. (Since the oven is preheated from cooking the fries, just preheat until oven is 550°F)
Grate mozzarella cheese.
Flour surface and roll out the dough, flour lightly as needed. Put a floured pizza peel underneath the dough.
Add 1 x ¾ cup gravy, then mozzarella cheese, then fries, bacon and cheese curds. Pat down toppings.
Bake pizza in the oven at 550° F. for 8-10 minutes.
Remove pizza from oven with pizza peel and let cool for 5 minutes. Top with remaining 1 x ¾ cup gravy. Slice it up!
