Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • For the Dough:
  • 1 cup warm water about 110°F
  • 1 packet 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • For the Toppings:
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage crumbled
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: hot sauce fresh herbs (like parsley or chives), and avocado slices for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Instructions:
  • Prepare the Dough:
  • In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir to dissolve and let sit for about 5 minutes, until the mixture becomes frothy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
  • Shape the Dough:
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a 12-inch circle or a rectangle, depending on your preference.
  • Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Add the Toppings:
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Crack the eggs directly onto the pizza, spacing them out evenly. Alternatively, you can scramble the eggs in a bowl and pour them over the pizza if you prefer scrambled eggs.
  • Sprinkle the cooked bacon, sausage, bell peppers, and green onions over the cheese and eggs.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake the Pizza:
  • Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is melted, and the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Serve:
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Optional: Drizzle with hot sauce, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and add avocado slices if desired.
  • Serve the breakfast pizza hot and enjoy!
