Ingredients
Scale
For the Pizza Dough
- 1 ½–2 cups all-purpose flour (195g, plus more 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
For the Topping
- 3 slices thick cut bacon
- 4 eggs
- 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
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 green onion (sliced, about 1 tablespoon)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pizza Dough: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, sugar, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Add warm water and oil, stirring until combined to form a very wet dough.
- Knead the Dough: Gradually add remaining flour to the dough. Knead briefly until a soft, non-sticky dough forms that feels pliable but not firm. Press, fold, and knead until ready.
- Let Dough Rise: Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
- Cook the Bacon: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange bacon slices. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crispy. Remove and let cool on paper towels before chopping.
- Prepare Scrambled Eggs: Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until softly scrambled. Set aside.
- Shape the Pizza Crust: Roll out the risen dough slightly larger than a 12-inch pizza pan. Place the dough on a lightly greased pan, fold edges slightly and pinch to create a thicker crust rim.
- Brush the Crust: Mix oil with garlic powder and dried parsley, then brush this mixture over the pizza crust evenly.
- Add Toppings and Bake: Spread the scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the hot pizza and serve immediately for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- For best results, ensure water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
- You can substitute bacon with sausage or omit for a vegetarian option (adjust dietary classification accordingly).
- Use a pizza stone for extra crispiness if preferred.
- Make sure not to over-knead the dough; it should remain soft and slightly sticky for tenderness.
- Leftover pizza can be refrigerated and reheated; best consumed within 2 days.
