Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 slices bacon
- 20 slices pepperoni
- 12 mini meatballs (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup mustard (preferably Dijon or yellow, for drizzling)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Mix until a dough forms. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to fit your pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Brush the edges of the dough with melted butter.
- Spread a thin layer of mustard over the dough.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the mustard layer.
- Arrange the bacon slices, pepperoni, and mini meatballs evenly over the cheese.
- Crack the eggs over the pizza, spacing them out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the eggs are set to your preference.
