Breakfast Pizza

Instructions

1. Prepare the dough
   Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If using refrigerated dough, allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough into a 12-inch circle or shape into a 12x16-inch rectangle if using a sheet pan.
2. Pre-bake the crust
   Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the surface with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Using a fork, prick the dough all over to prevent bubbling. Bake for 8 minutes, or until just beginning to brown.
3. Add base toppings
   Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, followed by the crumbled bacon, breakfast sausage, and diced red bell pepper.
4. Create wells for eggs
   Using the back of a spoon, create 4 small wells in the toppings, evenly spaced apart. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella around (not on top of) the eggs.
5. Final baking
   Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny (or longer if you prefer firmer yolks) and the crust is golden brown. The cheese should be melted and slightly golden.
6. Finish and serve
   Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, green onions, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes if using. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Let rest for 2 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
