Instructions
Preparation
- 1Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating.
- 2Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and crumble once cooled. Reserve some of the bacon fat if desired for extra flavor.
- 3Lightly dust a pizza peel or baking sheet with flour or cornmeal. Stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape.
Assembly and Baking
- 1Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the prepared pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- 2Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Distribute the crumbled bacon, thinly sliced red onion, and black olives evenly over the cheese.
- 3Carefully crack the eggs directly onto the pizza, spacing them out evenly among the toppings. Lightly season the eggs with salt and pepper.
- 4Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or pizza stone. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is bubbly and melted, and the egg whites are set with the yolks still slightly runny (or cooked to your preference).
Finishing Touches
- 1Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
- 2Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Bacon and Egg Brazilian Pizza!
