Total preparation time: 2 hours (including rising time)
Baking time: 50-60 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
- 400 g flour (ideal for bread, but type 000 flour is also good)
- 1 packet of dry yeast (7 g)
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (or other vegetable oil)
- 220 ml lukewarm water (not hot, to activate the yeast)
- 300 g mushroom stew (made from mushrooms, onions, and spices)
- 250 g cheese (grated, preferably one that melts well)
- 4 eggs
- 250 g bacon (sliced thin)
- 250 g smoked sausage (sliced)
- 100 g yogurt or sour cream (to add creaminess)
- 2 green onions (cleaned and finely chopped)
- Spices: oregano, rosemary, curry (optional for added flavor)
- Ketchup (for serving)
Preparing the pizza dough:
1. If you have a bread machine, add the ingredients in the following order: water, salt, oil, flour, baking powder, yeast, and sugar. Set the machine to the "Dough" program and let it do its job.
2. If you don't have a bread machine, you can knead the dough by hand. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, yeast, salt, baking powder, sugar), then add the oil and lukewarm water. Knead well for 10-15 minutes, until the dough becomes elastic and smooth.
3. Once the dough is ready, let it rise in a warm place, covered with a damp towel, for about 30-40 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Preparing the filling:
1. In a frying pan, add a little oil and fry the sliced bacon and sausage until crispy. This step will not only intensify the flavors but also add a pleasant texture to the filling.
2. Prepare the mushroom stew, if you don't have it ready. Use fresh mushrooms, onions, and your favorite spices. Sauté them until tender and fragrant. Chop them finely for easier integration into the pizza.
3. In a bowl, beat the eggs well with the yogurt and finely chopped green onions. You can add desired spices for extra flavor.
Assembling the pizza:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare a large baking tray by covering it with baking paper and lightly greasing it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
2. Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a floured surface. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, shaping it to fit the baking tray.
3. Place the dough in the tray and spread ketchup over it. Evenly distribute the mushroom stew over the ketchup, then sprinkle the fried bacon and sausage on top.
4. Pour the egg and yogurt mixture over the filling, ensuring everything is evenly covered. Finally, add the grated cheese and, if desired, a little ketchup on top for an appealing look.
5. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is well cooked.
Serving and variations:
The pizza is delicious served warm, alongside ketchup or other favorite sauces. You can experiment with different types of cheese or add vegetables like peppers or olives. An interesting variation would be to add spicy seasonings for a more intense flavor.
Nutritional benefits:
This pizza is not only tasty but also nutritious, with a good protein content from the eggs, bacon, and sausage, as well as fiber from the flour and mushrooms. Being homemade, you have control over the ingredients, allowing you to reduce fats or add more vegetables.
Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use frozen mushrooms? Yes, but make sure to thaw and drain them well before use.
- How can I store the pizza? You can keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days, and to reheat it, use the oven to maintain the crispy crust.
- Is this recipe suitable for vegans? You can adapt the recipe using vegan cheese, lentil eggs, or even tofu, but the taste will be different.
