I stumbled across this recipe while looking for something different to take to a brunch. Boy, am I glad I did! Everyone asked for the recipe and could not believe it only called for five ingredients. It's the perfect item to bake for an informal get-together. —Traci Collins, Cheyenne, Wyoming

Ingredients:
• 12 bacon strips, diced
• 1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1 envelope (1 ounce) ranch salad dressing mix

Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 5 minutes or until partially cooked; drain on paper towels. Roll out dough to 1/2-in. thickness; brush with 1 tablespoon of oil. Cut into 1-in. pieces; place in a large bowl. Add the bacon, cheese, dressing mix and remaining oil; toss to coat.

2. Arrange pieces in a 9-in. x 5-in. oval on a greased baking sheet, layering as needed. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled.

3. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Cover with foil; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until golden brown.
