- ½ cup (50g) tomatoes, diced

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Giant Burger Patty
- In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Shape into a large patty (same size as your pizza dough).
- Cook on a large skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Giant Burger-Pizza
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pizza dough into a large circle.
- Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza pan. Spread pizza sauce or ketchup-mayo mix over the dough.
- Place the partially cooked burger patty on top.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
- Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the meat.
- Add bacon bits, pickles, red onions, and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle oregano on top.
- Brush the edges of the dough with a little water and sprinkle sesame seeds for a burger-like crust.
Step 5: Bake & Serve
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra pickles, mayo, or burger sauce on the side.
Enjoy your Giant Burger-Pizza!
