Ultimate Breakfast Pizza

Recipe Intro From lisathompson

Pizza for breakfast! Deliciously runny yolks lay atop a bed of melted cheddar cheese, hearty potatoes and smoky bacon to create a crave-worthy morning meal (or anytime, really). Start off with the Classic Pizza Dough recipe from our friends at Ooni. You'll need to prep the dough at least 24 hours in advance, so make sure to plan accordingly. This allows the dough to develop flavor and the perfect chewy bite for the crust. In this recipe, I chose to make two 14-inch pizzas, which requires making a half batch of the dough. You are of course welcome to make a full batch of dough and just double the ingredients for the toppings, or make another flavor of your choice! 

Some tips to set yourself up for tasty pizza success: 

  1. Gather all of your pizza tools before you fire up your Ooni. You'll need a pizza peel, a pizza turner or some long-handled tongs + heavy duty oven mitts, and a "landing spot" for your finished pizzas. A laser thermometer is technically optional, but helpful to have.
  2. While one of the best features of the Ooni pizza oven is the capability to cook pizzas very quickly at a super high temperature, it is completely fine to start your pizza journey at a slightly lower temperature for a slightly longer amount of time. This allows you to become familiar with the hot spots in the oven and practice turning the pizza to ensure even cooking. Beginners often find that their pizzas char too quickly in certain areas around the edges, but remain too doughy and undercooked in the middle. The most important thing is that your pizzas come out delicious, not that you can achieve a picture-perfect Neapolitan pizza with "leoparding" on your first few attempts.
  3. If possible, roll out your dough and assemble with the ingredients called for in the initial launch as quickly as possible, preferably in a spot close to your preheated oven so you can launch it right away. The longer the dough sits on the pizza peel, the higher the chance your dough will stick to the peel and be difficult to launch. Give the dough a little shimmy on the peel to make sure it moves well, and gently loosen up any spots that are sticking with your hands. 
  4. When you are topping your pizza with pre-cooked ingredients, try to blot off any excess liquid that might accumulate on them, and always wait for them to cool down before topping so prevent your dough from sticking to the peel. 
  5. My personal MO for pizza nights is to eat the pizza soon after it's done, then fire the next one and keeping things casual. If you prefer to cook all of your pizzas and sit down to eat them all at the same time, keep your indoor oven around 250F degrees and transfer cooked pizzas there once they are done to keep them warm.

ingredients

For the Dough

ingredients

For the Potato and Bacon Topping

  • 12 ounces waxy potatoes (such as Yukon Gold), small dice
  • 4 ounces thick-cut bacon, small dice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Kosher salt, to taste

ingredients

To Assemble

  • 2 cups (280g) cooled potato and bacon topping
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • Everything bagel seasoning, to taste
  • Chopped chives or scallions, to taste
  • Hot sauce (we used truffle flavor), to taste (optional)
  • Maple syrup, to taste (optional)

Method

  • Step 1

    Dust a clean work surface with flour and set dough balls at least 6 inches apart. Cover lightly with mixing bowls or plastic wrap and let dough come up to room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, cook diced potatoes and bacon in a medium pan over medium heat, stirring often. Season with chili powder and kosher salt, to taste and cook for about 15-18 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Let cool.

  • Step 3

    Preheat your Ooni pizza oven to high for 30 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Crack eggs one at a time into a fine mesh strainer to let the watery part of the white run off, then transfer to a small individual bowl and repeat with remaining eggs.

  • Step 5

    Roll or stretch dough to ⅛ - ¼-inch thickness and coat with enough flour to prevent sticking (a small mesh strainer works well to get a light, even coating). Lay dough atop a floured pizza peel and top with half the cheddar cheese and half the cooled potato and bacon topping.

  • Step 6

    Launch pizza into the preheated Ooni oven towards the hottest part of the baking stone in the back. Cook, turning about every 30 seconds, until pizza is beginning to turn golden brown. Top pizza with 3 eggs and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning. Return to the oven and cook until egg whites are set and yolks are set to your desired doneness. Repeat with remaining dough and toppings.

  • Step 7

    Top each pizza with chopped chives or scallions, a dash of hot sauce, and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired and enjoy immediately.
