Full English Breakfast Pizza

Everything you love about a full English, on a wood-fired pizza base. Sausage, smoked bacon, mushroom and a cracked egg in the centre - it sounds like a dare, but it is genuinely delicious. The intense heat of your pizza oven cooks the egg perfectly while crisping up the bacon and charring the sausage slices.

Originally created as the England entry for DeliVita's Euro 2024 pizza series, this has become a firm favourite well beyond football season. It is the ultimate brunch pizza - fire up the oven on a Saturday morning and serve it straight from the peel.

Ingredients

• 1 pizza dough ball
• 50g tomato pizza sauce
• 100g fresh mozzarella, torn
• 1 egg
• 3/4 portobello mushroom, sliced
• 2 slices smoked bacon, cut into strips
• 1 cooked sausage, sliced
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Fire your pizza oven to 400 to 450 degrees.
2. Stretch the dough to about 12 inches on a floured surface.
3. Spread the tomato sauce over the base, leaving a border for the crust. Scatter the mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil.
4. Arrange the mushroom slices, bacon strips and sausage slices across the surface. Crack the egg into the centre of the pizza.
5. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with a little more olive oil.
6. Slide into the oven and bake for 60 to 90 seconds, turning frequently for an even cook. The egg should be just set with a runny yolk.
7. Serve immediately - preferably with a cup of strong tea.
