Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 3 slices thick cut bacon
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 12 – 2 cups all-purpose flour (195g)
Pizza Dough Components:
- 1 package instant or quick yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 2/3 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 green onion (sliced), about 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Craft a versatile dough by blending flour, yeast, salt, sugar, oregano, and garlic powder in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Incorporate warm water and oil, kneading the mixture until a cohesive, smooth texture emerges.
- Allow the dough to rest and expand in a warm environment, approximately 1 hour, until its volume doubles.
- While dough rises, render bacon to a crisp state, then crumble into bite-sized fragments.
- Prepare egg mixture by whisking eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium temperature, gently scramble eggs until they reach a soft, barely set consistency.
- Preheat oven to a scorching 475F (245C), preparing for pizza transformation.
- Roll dough on a flour-dusted surface, achieving desired thickness and shape.
- Transfer dough to a baking sheet, sprinkling with garlic powder and fragrant parsley.
- Artfully distribute scrambled eggs across the dough’s surface, followed by crispy bacon pieces.
- Generously scatter mozzarella cheese and finely chopped green onions as the final flavor enhancers.
- Slide the pizza into the preheated oven, baking until the crust turns golden and cheese melts into a bubbling landscape, approximately 10-12 minutes.
Notes
- Ensure water temperature for yeast is between 105-110°F to activate without killing the microorganisms.
- Knead dough thoroughly to develop gluten, creating a chewy and elastic pizza base.
- Let dough rise in a draft-free, warm spot covered with a damp cloth for optimal expansion.
- Drain bacon completely to prevent soggy pizza crust and excess grease.
- Scramble eggs gently and remove from heat when slightly underdone to prevent overcooking during baking.
- Use parchment paper on baking sheet for easier pizza removal and crisp bottom crust.
- Experiment with alternative cheeses like cheddar or goat cheese for different flavor profiles.
- For gluten-free option, substitute wheat flour with almond or cauliflower crust.
