Ingredients:

For the Dough:

  • 480 grams of lukewarm water
  • 750 grams of bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) active dried yeast / 10 grams instant dried yeast / 30 grams fresh yeast
  • 1 tablespoon (18 grams) fine sea salt

For the Toppings:

  • Chopped prebaked bacon
  • 1 egg
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions for 5 Dough Balls:

1. Prepare the Dough: 
  • In a large bowl, add half the remaining flour and the yeast mixture and mix well. 
  • Then add the salt and remaining flour. 
  • Dump the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. 
  • Drizzle the bottom of the bowl with olive oil, place the dough back into the bowl, and dash a bit more olive oil on top.

 

2. Let the Dough Rise: 
  • Cover the bowl with a dishcloth and set it in the sun or another warm place for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size — whichever comes first

 

3. Divide the Dough: 
  • Divide the bulk-proofed dough into five 250-gram or four 330-gram pieces. 
  • Ball up the dough, ensuring the tops of the balls are smooth. 
  • Brush each ball with olive oil or warm water, cover it with a dishcloth, and rest in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Preheat Your Oven:

  • Preheat your Glowen Raptor or Dragon pizza oven to 450°C (842°F). Measure the temperature at the middle of the stone using a Glowen IR thermometer.

Prepare the Pizza:

  • Spread the basil pesto evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the basil pesto.
  • Evenly distribute the chopped bacon on top of the cheese.
  • Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake according to the pizza dough instructions, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  • In the middle of the bake take the pizza out and carefully crack an egg in the center of the pizza.
  • Put the pizza back in and bake the egg on low flame until its baked
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  • Garnish the pizza with fresh parsley before serving.
  • Slice the pizza and enjoy the delicious combination of basil pesto, mozzarella, chopped bacon, egg, and parsley!
