1. Stir the yeast, sugar and lukewarm water together in a large bowl and let stand 5 minutes until foamy.

2. Add the flour and egg and mix into a dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and let rise 30 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

4. Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

5. Spread the frozen French fries on another baking sheet and bake according to the package directions until golden, about 20 minutes.

6. Press the risen dough into a round on the prepared baking sheet, then spread the pizza sauce over it, leaving a small border.

7. Scatter half the shredded cheese over the sauce, then top with the baked fries, bacon and the remaining cheese.

8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

9. Heat the beef gravy in a small saucepan over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, then spoon it over the hot pizza and serve.
