Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
2. Prepare the Dough:
-
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired size and shape.

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone, and brush with olive oil to help it crisp up during baking.
3. Cook the Eggs:
-
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
-
In a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs over medium heat, stirring constantly, until scrambled and cooked through. Set them aside.
4. Assemble the Pizza:
-
Spread a thin layer of mozzarella cheese on the pizza dough.
-
Add a layer of scrambled eggs on top of the cheese, followed by crumbled bacon (or sausage), bell peppers, spinach, and green onions.
-
Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and red pepper flakes (if using).
5. Bake the Pizza:
-
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Finish and Serve:
-
Once the pizza is out of the oven, sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or basil on top for extra flavor.
-
Slice and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious breakfast pizza!
