Get Ready for a Flavorful Ride
This recipe yields one 12-inch pizza and takes about an hour to complete, including preheating time. With only eight ingredients, the quality of each component is crucial.
Ingredients:
- 1 ball fresh pizza dough
- Flour for dusting
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn
- 3 or 4 slices bacon, uncooked
- 1 or 2 sous-vide or poached eggs
- Fine sea salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your Baking Steel in the oven at 500 degrees for 45 minutes. Stretch your dough into a 12-inch circle and lightly flour your peel before placing the dough on top.
Add the Toppings
Set the oven to Broil and evenly distribute the mozzarella and bacon across the top of the pizza, leaving about 1 inch around the perimeter for the crust.
Cook and Serve
Use a generously floured pizza peel to launch your pizza onto the Baking Steel and bake under the broiler for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, open the oven and use your pizza peel to give the pizza a 180-degree turn. Turn off the broiler, set the oven to its highest temperature, and continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes or until the cheese has attained the desired brownness. Remove the pie from the oven, slice, and serve.
