Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 ½–2 cups all purpose flour (195g), plus extra for rolling
  • 1 package instant or quick yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅔ cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Toppings

  • 3 slices thick cut bacon
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 green onion (sliced, about 1 tablespoon)

Egg Mixture

  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Seasonings and Finishing

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, sugar, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Stir in the warm water and oil until the dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  2. Cook the Bacon: While the dough is rising, cook the thick cut bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Preheat the Oven and Roll Out Dough: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a round pizza crust about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the rolled dough to a greased or parchment-lined pizza pan.
  5. Assemble the Pizza: Brush the crust with 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle garlic powder and dried parsley evenly over the crust. Spread the shredded mozzarella evenly over the surface. Scatter the cooked bacon pieces and sliced green onion on top.
  6. Add the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the pizza toppings without letting it run off the edges.
  7. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy your savory breakfast pizza warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute mozzarella with a combination of cheddar and mozzarella for a richer flavor.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs for a more vibrant taste.
  • If you prefer, use turkey bacon or a plant-based alternative for a lighter or vegetarian option.
