Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pizza Dough

    In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onion thinly. In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil and the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sausage

    In the same skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  5. 5

    Assemble the Pizza

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough, followed by the cooked sausage. Sprinkle fontina and pecorino cheese on top.

  6. 6

    Add the Eggs

    Create small wells in the toppings and crack the eggs into these wells. Season with salt and black pepper.

  7. 7

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the eggs are set to your liking.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm.
