1
Prepare the pizza dough.
-
2
In a small bowl combine the water with the yeast and let it sit for 10 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and bubbly.
-
3
Combine the rest of the dough ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment.
-
4
Add the yeast-water and mix until the ingredients have just combined.
-
5
Cover and allow it to rest in a warm area until it doubles in size, about one hour.
-
6
One hour before baking, preheat the oven to 500 F with a pizza stone on the lower rack.
-
7
If cooking the pizza on a baking sheet, preheat the oven 30 minutes before baking.
-
8
When the dough has rested, take approximately 1/3 of the dough and flatten it with your hands on a floured surface.
-
9
Use a floured rolling pin to gently roll the crust to about 1/8 of an inch thick.
-
10
Transfer the dough to a pizza peel (if baking directly on stone) or onto a baking sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal.
-
11
Gently brush the crust with olive oil.
-
12
The crust makes enough for 3 pizzas, so save the other two sections for dinner!
-
13
Lower the oven temperature to 450 F. If using a pizza peel, carefully slide the pizza crust in the oven onto the stone.
-
14
If using a baking sheet, place pizza in the oven.
-
15
Par bake the crust for about 6-8 minutes until slightly golden.
-
16
Pull crust from the oven and carefully pour the eggs on top.
-
17
Place the fresh mozzarella cheese and bacon around the pizza and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese.
-
18
Return to oven and continue baking for an additional 6-8 minutes or until the eggs have just set and the bacon has crisped.
-
19
When done, remove the pizza and top with fresh basil leaves and black pepper.

Serve immediately.
