Bacon and Egg Breakfast Pizza is one of our favorite weekend breakfasts. I start this pizza by making pizza dough in my bread machine. But I’ve also attached a recipe for my hand-kneaded pizza dough. While the pizza dough rose, I baked up lots of bacon for 15 minutes at four hundred degrees. Also, I chopped up fresh parsley and chives. In my opinion, fresh herbs are far better than anything you can purchase dried. Finally, I topped the pizzas with the eggs, and lots of fresh mozzarella cheese. We like this pizza for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make the components of this pizza ahead of time. Secondly, I like that this pizza uses ingredients I usually already have. And, lastly, we all love the crispy bacon and spicy pepper flakes on this pizza.

THE EQUIPMENT I USED

A Bread Machine- I used a bread machine to make my dough.
A Pizza Stone- If you don’t have a pizza stone, just bake your pizza on a large baking sheet.
A Food Scale- For perfect baking results, weigh your flour.

THE INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR Bacon and Egg Breakfast PIZZA

Flour- Use all-purpose flour. I always use King Arthur brand flour.
Mozzarella Cheese- I always use fresh mozzarella cheese.
Yeast- Be sure to use active dry yeast. Do not use quick rising yeast.
Bacon- I used Rastelli’s Hardwood Smoked Bacon from their Weekend Essential’s meat subscription box.

HOW I MADE MY Bacon and Egg PIZZAS

First, I made the dough. Be sure to measure everything carefully.
Next, I roasted the bacon. Use a timer, so that it doesn’t burn.
Finally, I added all the toppings and baked the pizzas.

If you like eggs, you need to try this cheesy and delicious Bacon and Egg Breakfast Pizza.

Equipment

Bread Machine
2 Pizza Stones
2 Pizza Peels

Ingredients

For the Bread Machine Pizza Dough:

1 cup water
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
3 cups all purpose flour (360g)
1 tsp. honey
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. active dry yeast

For The Toppings:

3 cups fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
8 slices Rastelli's Hardwood Smoked Bacon, cooked and chopped
8 eggs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup sliced chives
¼ cup minced parsley
½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

Begin by making the pizza dough: Add all the ingredients to your bread machine, in the order suggested by the manufacturer of your bread machine. Select the dough cycle and press start.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, with two pizza stones inside of it.
When the dough cycle is done, dump the dough on to a floured board and divide in half. Press or roll the dough in to two twelve-inch circles, right on two parchment covered pizza peels. Brush them with olive oil and cover with plastic wrap and let them rise for thirty minutes. Top the dough rounds with the mozzarella cheese. Crack 4 eggs on each pizza.
Using the pizza peels, slide the parchment and pizzas onto the pizza stones. Bake for 23 minutes, or until the egg whites are set. Sprinkle pizzas with remaining ingredients.
