For the Dough
- 2 cups flour All-purpose or bread flour
- 1 cup warm water Helps activate the yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil Adds flavor and helps keep dough moist
- 1 teaspoon salt Enhances the flavor
For the Sauce
- 1 cup tomato sauce Provides a rich, tangy base
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds richness to the sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Adds subtle garlic flavor
- 1 teaspoon oregano Adds an aromatic flavor
For the Toppings
- 4 strips cooked bacon Adds savory crunch

Instructions
Preparing the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, warm water, olive oil, and salt. Stir until a rough dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and flexible. Add more flour if sticky.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). After rising, gently deflate the dough and roll it out to your desired thickness.
Making the Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, combine tomato sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well.
- Spread the sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a border for the crust.
Adding the Toppings
- Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble into pieces.
- Crack the eggs directly onto the pizza, either keeping them whole or lightly scrambling them first.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese and any optional vegetables over the sauce.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden and cheese is melted.
