Ingredients

Scale

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

Toppings

  • 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

  1. Prepare the Pizza Dough: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, sugar, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Stir the dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the yeast and seasonings.
  2. Add Liquids and Form Dough: Pour in the warm water and 2 tablespoons of oil to the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture is combined. The dough will be very wet at this stage.
  3. Knead the Dough: Gradually add the remaining flour, a little at a time, kneading briefly after each addition until you obtain a soft, non-sticky dough. The dough should feel soft but not tough or sticky to the hands. Kneading involves pressing and folding the dough repeatedly until combined.
  4. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and leave it in a warm, draft-free place to rise until it doubles in size, approximately 40 minutes.
  5. Preheat Oven and Cook Bacon: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil, lay the bacon strips on it, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the bacon is crisp to your liking. Remove and let cool slightly on paper towels before chopping into pieces.
  6. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat a medium skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring often, until the eggs are softly scrambled. Remove from heat and set aside.
  7. Roll Out Dough and Shape: On a floured surface, roll out the risen dough so that it is slightly larger than a 12-inch pizza pan. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased pizza pan. Fold and pinch the edges to create a thicker crust around the perimeter that fits snugly into the pan.
  8. Brush the Crust: Mix the remaining garlic powder and dried parsley with a bit of oil. Brush this mixture evenly over the entire pizza crust to add flavor and help create a golden color during baking.
  9. Add Toppings and Bake: Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs and chopped bacon over the prepared crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is light golden brown.
  10. Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onion for a fresh, vibrant finish. Slice and serve warm for a satisfying breakfast or brunch treat.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure your water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
  • You can substitute bacon with turkey bacon or breakfast sausage if preferred.
  • Use freshly shredded mozzarella cheese for better melting and flavor.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm spot to speed up the rising process.
  • If you prefer a thinner crust, roll the dough thinner but adjust baking time as needed.
