Steps:

• In a bowl, add the warm water and yeast.
• Stir and let the mixture bloom, until the yeast turns foamy and dissolves.
• Sift together both flours, baking soda, cream of tartar, sugar, & salt.
• Add the bloomed yeast into the sifter flour mixture. Mix all the ingredients together by hand or with a mixer at low speed until the dough begins to form.
• Once the dough is smooth and well combined, dust the work area with additional flour & knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes. Add more flour as needed.
• Once the dough becomes elastic and bouncy, roundly shape it and put it in a greased bowl with olive oil.
• Drizzle some olive oil over the dough, cover it, and allow it to rise for one hour.
• After an hour, the dough will appear to have expanded in size. Poke the middle to release the extra air.
• Grease a 12-inch pizza pan, and dust it with some flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
• Press out the dough onto the greased pizza pan, & prick around the dough with a fork.
• Transfer the pizza dough to a warm area & allow to rest, about 10-15 minutes covered.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Brush the pizza dough with the remaining olive oil, & pre bake them for about 5 minutes.
• Combine the tomato sauce into a bowl with the Italian Seasoning and lemon juice.
• Spread the tomato sauce evenly on the pizza dough, leaving a 1 inch border all around the dough.
• Sprinkle the parmesan cheese and 3-cheese blend generously all over the tomato sauce.
• Once you're done with the previous step, toss in the sausage and bacon and add the Italian sausage. Afterward, sprinkle the cooked pepperoni over the dough.
• Place the pan with the dough in the oven and let it bake for about 10-15 minutes. When the crust appears golden brown and the cheese fully melted, remove and scatter the garlic powder around the pizza.
• Cool the crusts for one minute. Once they're cool enough, cut them evenly and serve.
