The history of pizza

Pizza is an iconic dish, loved worldwide, with a history that dates back to ancient civilizations. Originally made from a simple dough topped with various toppings, pizza has evolved over time, becoming a symbol of gastronomy. Egg pizza is a less common variant that adds an element of surprise and flavor.

Basic ingredients

- 250 g pizza dough (preferably prepared in advance to allow for optimal fermentation)
- 4 eggs
- 100 g raw dry bacon
- 100 g dry salami
- 100 g pastrama
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 tomato
- 50 g olives
- 150 g Delaco cheese
- 100 ml tomato pulp
- Oregano, pepper, and salt (to taste)
- Oil for greasing the pan

Ingredient details

Pizza dough – You can use your favorite classic pizza dough recipe, but I recommend preparing it the night before and keeping it in the fridge. This will make it easier to roll out and will add a special texture.

Eggs – Eggs are a versatile and protein-rich ingredient. Using boiled eggs adds consistency and a delicious flavor.

Meat – Bacon, salami, and pastrama bring a rich and hearty flavor to your pizza. Make sure to choose quality meat for the best results.

Vegetables – Bell pepper, tomato, and olives will not only add a colorful look to the pizza but also a fresh and balanced taste.

Cheese – Delaco cheese, with its creamy texture and intense flavor, will melt perfectly on the pizza, creating a delicious crust.

Step by step – Your culinary guide

1. Preparing the dough: If you haven't prepared dough in advance, now is the time to make it. Mix flour, water, yeast, salt, and oil, kneading until you obtain an elastic dough. Let it rise for 1-2 hours, covered with a clean towel.

2. Rolling out the dough: Once the dough has risen, place it on a floured surface and roll it out into a round or rectangular shape, depending on the pan you are using. Place it in an oiled pan and poke it with a fork all over to prevent puffing.

3. Mixing the ingredients: In a bowl, mix the tomato pulp with a raw egg and a pinch of salt. This will be the base of your sauce.

4. Assembling the pizza: Spread the tomato and egg mixture over the prepared dough. Sprinkle oregano and pepper to taste.

5. Preparing the ingredients: Boil the other 3 eggs for 10 minutes, then let them cool, peel them, and slice them thinly. Slice the other ingredients (bacon, salami, pastrama, bell pepper, tomato) as thinly as possible to ensure even distribution on the pizza.

6. Placing the ingredients: Add the toppings in the desired order on the pizza, making sure to distribute them evenly: bacon, salami, pastrama, boiled eggs, bell pepper, olives, and tomatoes.

7. Grating the cheese: Grate the Delaco cheese using a large grater, then use a smaller grater for a final, finer layer. This will help create a melted and delicious crust.

8. Baking the pizza: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pizza is nicely browned.

9. Serving: Once the pizza is ready, let it cool for a few minutes before cutting it. Serve with ketchup and a cold beer for a perfect mix of flavors.

Useful tips and variations

- If you want to add a bit of spice, you can include hot peppers or spicy seasonings.
- Instead of bacon, you can use prosciutto or even vegetables for a vegetarian option.
- Try adding fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, to enhance the flavor.
- Egg pizza is fantastic served alongside a fresh salad or a fruit smoothie.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I use store-bought dough? Yes, store-bought pizza dough is a quick and convenient option, but for a more authentic taste, I recommend making it at home.

2. What type of cheese can I use? If you don't have Delaco cheese, you can use mozzarella or a blend of Italian cheeses for a different flavor.

3. How can I store the pizza? Pizza can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can reheat it in the oven to restore its crispy texture.

4. How can I customize the recipe? Add your favorite ingredients or use leftovers from the fridge to create a unique pizza.

5. Is egg pizza healthy? This pizza is rich in protein due to the eggs and meat, and the vegetables add vitamins. However, consume in moderation, especially if you are following a balanced diet.

In conclusion, egg pizza is a delicious and versatile dish, perfect for any occasion. It will surely be appreciated by the whole family, and making it can become a fun moment in the kitchen. Enjoy your meal!
