Breakfast Pizza

So the pizza dough wouldn't rise for me and I was having a heck of a time trying to turn it into pizza. I threw it in the fridge and left it overnight...well then of course I had to turn it into something...

2½ cups all purpose flour

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp garlic powder

1 package (1½ tsp.) active dry yeast

¾ cup hot water (120º-103º)

1 TBSP olive oil

2 eggs, slightly beaten
¼ cup heavy cream
1-2 shakes Texas Pete hot sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Ham, sausage, bacon, green pepper, onion, etc. (breakfast toppings)

In a large bowl combine ¾ cup flour, seasoning, garlic powder and yeast; blend well. Mix hot water and oil together and combine with flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened then mix at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add ¾ cup flour to form stiff dough.

On floured surface, kneed in ¼ - ½ cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic (3-5 minutes).

Place dough in greased bowl, twirling around to coat; cover loosely with plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80º-85º) for 30-40 minutes or until double in size.

Combine egg, heavy cream and hot sauce; slice or dice toppings and set aside.

Punch dough down several times to remove all air bubbles. Roll out dough to form pizza crust; spread with egg mixture. Cover with cheese and top with ham, sausage, green pepper, etc.

Bake in 400º oven 18-23 minutes.
