Breakfast Pizza

I seriously just made the best breakfast pizza. like, ever.

 i altered my favorite pizza dough recipe and then just added a bunch of yummy stuff to scrambled eggs and poured it on the dough. topped it with cheese and threw it in the oven for 15 minutes. done. SO yummy.


What you need for the dough:

1 1/8 tsp dry active yeast
1 tsp white sugar
1/2 cup warm water [(i get mine to like 100-110 degrees F) the water shouldn't be boiling yet]
1 1/14 cup bread flour (white flour works fine, too!)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tsp salt

What you need for the topping:

3 small eggs
1/4 cup Alfredo sauce
desired amounts of broccoli, ham or other toppings.
Parmesan cheese
grated cheddar cheese


And here's how you do it:

~ pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F ~

1. In a medium sized bowl combine the yeast and warm water. dissolve yeast and then let the mixture stand until creamy. that will take 8- 10 minutes.

2. add flour, sugar, salt and oil.

3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or baker's peel dusted with cornmeal.
(make sure you make a little crust/edge to hold in the egg mixture, or it will slide riiiiiight off the dough and if you're like me you'll say, "no! stop! don't do that! aaagh! stop!" as if it could hear you, and you'd still be left with egg mixture in a little puddle around the pizza. like an unintentional moat.)

4. If you want a very moist pizza, you can lightly spread 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the dough as a "sauce", but it tastes just as good without this step!

5. in a separate medium bowl, combine eggs, Alfredo sauce, and desired toppings (except the cheeses)

6. SLOWLY pour egg mixture onto dough, pausing to adjust crust if necessary. Depending on the size of your pan, your dough might not be fully spread and you could have extra egg mixture. Don't try to fit it all on there, because it will spill over the edges of the crust and be a big mess in the oven.

7. Once the egg mixture is secured on the dough, sprinkle pizza with desired cheeses

8. place pizza on middle rack of oven for 15 minutes.

9.  reduce heat to 350 F . place pizza on top rack and cook until cheese is golden brown and bubbly.

ENJOY!



Oh and if you want to feel super hip while baking, you can listen to one of these silly songs about pizza:
