Hairy Bikers Pizza Ingredients
For The Pizza Dough:
- 300g strong white flour, plus extra for dusting
- 7g instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 175ml tepid water
For The Tomato Sauce:
- 200g tomato passata
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Handful of fresh basil leaves
- Sea salt and black pepper
For The Topping (enough for 2 pizzas):
- 4 fat sausages, peeled and broken up into small pieces
- 8 rashers of bacon, cut into pieces
- 4 slices of black pudding, broken up (optional)
- 4 field mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 4 medium tomatoes, sliced
- 2–4 eggs
- 2 mozzarella balls, broken up
- Olive oil, for drizzling
How To Make Hairy Bikers Pizza
- Prepare the Dough: Put the flour in a large bowl and sprinkle in the yeast. Stir thoroughly before adding the salt. Mix the olive oil with the water, then make a well in the center of the flour and start pouring in the liquid. Stir until you have a fairly wet dough, then turn it out and knead until it is no longer sticky, but soft and pliable.
- Let the Dough Rise: Put the dough in a bowl, cover, and leave it to rise for an hour – or overnight in the fridge. Knock it back and divide it into 2 large pieces.
- Preheat the Oven: When you are ready to cook the pizzas, preheat the oven to its highest setting and heat 2 baking trays or pizza stones.
- Shape the Pizzas: Shape the pizzas into large circles, then dust 2 more baking trays with flour and put the pizza bases on them – this is so you can slide them straight onto the hot baking trays or pizza stones in the oven.
- Make the Tomato Sauce: Blend all the sauce ingredients together in a food processor with plenty of salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Pizzas: Spread a small amount of the tomato sauce over the pizza bases, then top with the pieces of sausage, bacon, black pudding (if using), mushrooms, and tomatoes. Break one or more eggs on top of each pizza, making sure that the eggs are contained by other ingredients so that the white doesn’t run off – you can turn up the edges of the pizza base slightly to make sure. Sprinkle with mozzarella, then drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake the Pizzas: Bake in the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the pizzas are lovely and crisp and the toppings are cooked.
Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Yeast for Dough: Always use fresh yeast to ensure the dough rises well and the pizza base is light and fluffy.
- Chill Dough Overnight: Letting the dough rise overnight in the fridge improves its flavor and texture, making a better pizza crust.
- Preheat Baking Trays/Pizza Stones: Preheating the trays or stones before baking helps achieve a crispy crust, essential for a perfect pizza.
- Blend Tomato Sauce Well: Ensure the tomato sauce is blended thoroughly for a smooth, even spread on the pizza base, enhancing the overall taste.
- Contain Egg Whites: When adding eggs, make a small well in the toppings to prevent the egg whites from running off the pizza, ensuring they cook perfectly on top.
What To Serve With Pizza
