Ingredients:
-
Pizza dough (6"-7")
-
Tomato sauce (homemade or store-bought)
-
Fresh mozzarella slices (thinly sliced)
-
Cooked bacon strips (4-6 strips per pizza)
-
Fried eggs (1 or 2 per pizza)
-
Fresh parsley (chopped, about 2 tablespoons)
-
Olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
-
Salt (preferably sea salt)
-
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
Step 1. Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 800℉. Allow it to preheat for at least 15-20 minutes to ensure the oven reaches the correct temperature. This high temperature is crucial for achieving the crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese characteristic of a wood-fired pizza.
Step 2. Prepare the Bacon:
- Cook the bacon strips until crispy. You can fry them in a skillet over medium heat or bake them in the oven. Once cooked, drain the bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease and then cut or break them into smaller pieces.
Step 3. Prepare the Fried Eggs:
- Fry the eggs to your desired doneness. For a breakfast pizza, sunny-side-up or over-easy eggs work best. Heat a little oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 4. Prepare the Dough:
- Take the pizza dough out of the refrigerator (if it was refrigerated) and let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to make it more manageable.
Lightly flour your work surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Place the dough on the floured surface and gently stretch it by hand. Start from the center and work your way outwards, creating a thin, even crust. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Avoid using a rolling pin to preserve the air bubbles in the dough, which will give the crust its characteristic texture and crispiness.
Step 5. Add the Tomato Sauce:
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the stretched dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust. Use a spoon or a small ladle to apply the sauce evenly.
- Be careful not to use too much sauce, as this can make the pizza soggy. A thin layer is ideal for a balanced flavor.
Step 6. Layer the Cheese:
- Place slices of fresh mozzarella evenly over the tomato sauce. Ensure the cheese covers the sauce completely, as this will help create a uniform melt and prevent the sauce from bubbling up excessively. The mozzarella should be thinly sliced to ensure it melts smoothly at the high temperature.
Step 7. Arrange the Bacon and Eggs:
- Arrange the cooked bacon pieces evenly over the mozzarella cheese. Distribute them in a way that they are spread out but not overcrowded.
- Carefully place the fried eggs on top of the bacon. If using two eggs, space them evenly on the pizza. Be gentle to avoid breaking the yolks.
Step 8. Season and Drizzle:
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the pizza. This adds a burst of fresh flavor and a pop of color.
- Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the pizza. This adds a rich flavor and helps the crust achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Season the pizza with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. This will enhance the flavors of the cheese, sauce, bacon, and eggs.
Step 9. Bake the Pizza:
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven. If you have a pizza stone or steel, place the pizza directly on it for optimal heat distribution and a crispy crust.
- Bake the pizza for approximately 3 minutes. Keep an eye on it through the oven window to monitor the cheese and crust. The high temperature means the pizza will cook quickly, and you want to avoid overcooking the eggs.
Step 10. Check for Doneness:
- After 3 minutes, carefully remove the pizza from the oven using a pizza peel or tongs. Check the cheese for the desired level of char and melt. The crust should be golden-brown and crispy, and the eggs should be heated through but still have runny yolks.
Step 11. Garnish and Serve:
- If desired, add a few more fresh parsley leaves on top for added freshness and color.
- Let the pizza rest for about 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly. Then, slice it into wedges and serve immediately.
Enjoy your delicious Bacon and Egg Breakfast Pizza!
