Breakfast Pizza with Pancetta, Eggs, & Potatoes
Makes 4 individual 6-inch pizzas
Yes, you can have pizza for breakfast! Kids of all ages love this idea.
This is my go-to pizza dough recipe, versatile and easy to learn by heart. I
usually make personal pizzas so that everyone can top them the way that they
want, and I always encourage everyone to leave some room in the middle for
an egg. If you feel extra adventurous, try the pizza with duck eggs: It’s
amazing.
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading and rolling
the dough
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the bowl
Salt
2 large potatoes, diced
8 ounces pancetta, diced (2 cups)
4 large eggs
Freshly ground pepper
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F, with racks in the lower and upper thirds. Line
two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook or in a large bowl with a
wooden spoon, mix the warm water and honey. Add the yeast and let stand for
5 minutes, or until bubbly. (If it does not form bubbles, start over with
new yeast.)
3. Add the flour, oil, and . teaspoon salt and mix to combine. Knead the
dough for 5 minutes in the mixer or turn it out onto a lightly floured
surface and knead for 10 minutes by hand.
4. Place the dough in an oiled large bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm
spot until it doubles in size, about 45 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into 4 parts. Dust the workspace with a little flour and
roll out each piece to a free-form 6-inch circle. Place on the baking
sheets.
6. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan of salted water andbring to a
boil. Cook until soft, 18 to 20 minutes. Drain completely and place on the
pizzas.
7. Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until
golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Top the pizzas with the pancetta and drizzle each
pizza with some of the fat from the pan.
8. Bake the pizzas for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and crack an egg on
top of each pizza. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
9. Bake, rotating the pans once during baking, until golden and the eggs are
set, 10 to 12 minutes more.
10. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve.

There is speaking grace. Colossians 4:6 says, “Let your speech be always
with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer
every man.”
