Ingredients
Pizza Dough with Rosemary
- 2 cups + ¼ cup Self Rising Flour
- 1 packet Active Dry Yeast
- ¾ cups Water warm
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary roughly chopped
- 1 Egg
- 2-3 tbsp Water
Toppings
- 1 tbsp Corn Meal
- 1 small Red Onion about 1 cup
- 1 tablespoon Butter salted or unsalted
- 1 tsp Oil
- 6-7 oz Beef Smoked Sausage thinly sliced
- 2-3 tablespoon Basil Pesto Sauce
- 1.5-2 cups Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 teaspoon Dried Italian Seasoning
- 3 Eggs
- ¼ cup Cilantro roughly chopped
Instructions
Pizza dough
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, fill with hot water and let sit for five minutes. If bowl is microwave safe, fill with water and microwave for one minute.
- Once bowl is warm, add water, sugar, half of the oil and yeast to the bowl.
- Gently stir and let mixture sit for five minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
- Meanwhile, prepare dry ingredients by sifting flour and roughly chopping fresh rosemary.
- Once the yeast has had time to activate, add the wet mixture to the bowl of flour and begin mixing by hand. Add small amounts of flour (one tbsp) to the mixture to alleviate the sticky texture.
- A ball of dough will begin to form and on a lightly floured surface, transfer the dough and begin kneading.
- Take the left and right side and fold in, pushing the do up and repeating these steps until the dough feels smooth and pliable.
- Form the dough into tight ball and place in a large bowl (allowing room for expansion) using remaining oil to cover the dough ball completely.
- Lightly cover the dough ball with clear wrap and cover the mixing bowl with a kitchen towel and allow at least 30 minutes to proof and rise.
Caramelized Onion
- In a sauté pan, add butter on medium to high heat and sauté onion until brown and cooked through.
- Add up to ¼ cup to ½ cup of water to help with caramelization.
- Set aside until assembly.
Pizza Assembly
- On a baking dish, add corn meal and spread evenly across to prevent dough from sticking.
- Transfer dough ball to baking sheet and spread evenly across baking dish.
- Add pesto sauce one tablespoon at a time until desired sauce level.
- Spread mozzarella evenly over pizza.
- Add caramelized onion and spread out evenly over pizza crust.
- Add sliced beef sausage and spread evenly throughout.
- Top with dried Italian seasoning and bake for 8 minutes until pizza is almost done and cooked through.
- Remove from oven and in a small bowl, quickly stir one egg and water to create an egg mixture.
- Gently brush the edges of the crust with the egg wash if the crust needs help with browning.
- On the top of the pizza, choose three areas to place your eggs and with a medium size spoon (soup spoon size), make three indentions into the pizza where you'll place the eggs. This helps to allow the eggs to sit still and not run.
- Slowly crack the eggs into the prepared "craters" and bake an additional 3-5 minutes until eggs reach desired doneness.
- Remove pizza from heat and let sit at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Top with fresh cilantro and enjoy!
