Ingredients
FOR CHILI OIL (OPTIONAL)
- 1 1/2 tbsp crushed red chili flakes
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 1/2 c. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp. Kosher salt
FOR PIZZA
- 3 slices thick-cut meat cut into 1/2″ pieces
- 1 (9-oz) pizza dough
- all-purpose flour, for peel, pan, or cutting board
- 1 c. freshly shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 c. freshly grated parmesan
- 1 large egg
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions

-
Step 1: For chilli oil (optional): Combine chilli flakes and garlic in a medium heatproof bowl. In a small pot over medium heat, heat oil until hot but not yet smoking, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour over chilli flake mixture, stir, and set aside.
-
Step 2: Preheat oven to 500° and place a baking sheet in the middle rack.
-
Step 3: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook meat mostly crisp but still slightly bendable. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Step 4: Stretch or roll pizza dough into a 10” to 11” round, and place on a well-floured pizza peel, cutting board, or upside-down baking sheet. (You will be using this to transfer your pizza to your preheated baking sheet. Make sure your crust is moving freely and not sticking anywhere.)
-
Step 5Top your dough with an even layer of mozzarella and parmesan, avoiding the very centre (to allow room for an egg) and a 1” border around the outside for crust. Scatter cooked bacon all over the pizza.
-
Step 6: Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and carefully transfer the prepared pizza onto it.
-
Step 7Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until golden and melty, then carefully crack an egg into the centre of the pizza. (You can also crack the egg into a small bowl and pour it onto the pizza.) Return pizza to oven and bake until egg white is set but the yolk is still runny 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Step 8Season egg with salt and pepper, and drizzle chilli oil on the finished pie. Break into the yolk and drizzle all over the pizza. Source: www.delish.com
