you probably read the breakfast pizza post that was featured by of Smitten Kitchen.
As I commented on that post and said that I will definitely be trying out the recipe, I had to keep true to my word. So what better way to use this great recipe idea, than to include it into my Sunday Breakfast Series. With that, welcome to the second installment of the series with the Breakfast Pizza.
To prepare the dough I followed Deb’s directions. The day before the actual breakfast, I mixed in yeast to a bowl filled with 1/3 cup of water. Added the flour and added the salt and used my hand held, electric mixer to mix the ingredients, increasing the speed every couple of minutes until the mixture took on dough consistency. I sprinkled additional flour onto my wooden cutting board, turned the dough out of the bowl on the floured cutting board and divided into two portions. Once that was all done, I put the board with the dough into a plastic grocery bag and refrigerated it until the following morning.
When the morning arrived I was very excited about the dough waiting for me in the fridge and the prospect of making pizza for the first time ever. For my toppings I used the following:
Slices of Turkey kielbasa
Sliced Red Onion
Mozzarella Cheese
Eggs
Scallions
Cilantro (my all time favorite herb)
I tried doing the cool, twisting of the dough thing, by putting the dough over my fists, however, I failed miserably. Therefore, my pizza took on the shape of my rectangular cookie sheet that I baked it in (I do not own a pizza stone). I heated the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, laid out the dough on the cookie sheet, covered the dough with mozzarella cheese, turkey kielbasa, slices of red onion and raw eggs. I put the pizza in the oven for approximately 10 minutes and…VOILA!
A fabulous breakfast, A (the husband) raved about it for at least a couple of days. I won’t lie, I was pretty proud of myself, even though the pizza wasn’t actually round.
Thanks Deb for sharing this great recipe! I look forward to trying out more of your recipes.
