Breakfast Pizza

I was first introduced to Breakfast Pizza while living in Iowa and right away loved it. It took me a few trials to finally get it right. Imagine a full brunch on dough. That's exactly what it is. I love making it when we have company sleeping over as it feeds many. This last time I made was actually for my daughter 12th birthday party sleep-over. All kids loved it.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup of warm water

1 tsp of yeast
1 tsp of salt

DIRECTIONS

1. First add the water, followed by the oil and other ingredients
2. Set bread machine for the "dough" setting
3. Once ready check if it needs a little extra flour and work it with your own hands
4. Place dough over a round pizza stone and roll it until you have a thin layer
5. Place the stone in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes

For the toppings

3 tbsp of oil
3 cups of frozen hash browns

1. In a skillet brown the hash browns with half of the oil
2. Once golden place then in a bowl
3. Lightly sautee the onions and place them in a bowl when ready
4. Mix the eggs with the milk and a little salt and pepper to taste
5. Lightly scramble the eggs in such a way for them not to dry up
6. Place eggs on top of partially cooked dough
7. Spread the hash browns, the onions and the bacon
8. Spread the amount of cheese you would like
9. Place the pizza stone back in the oven at 375 for about 15 minutes
10. Remove from oven and cut it into slices just as a normal pizza

SUGGESTIONS: you can totally create this pizza as a vegetarian one, simply by omitting the bacon and adding the vegetables you may enjoy
