Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and dry yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, then knead until a pliable dough forms. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
2
While the dough is rising, prepare the shakshuka base. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until softened.
3
Add the chopped tomatoes, bell pepper, and spices (Hungarian Sweet Paprika, ground cumin), then pour in the tomato sauce. Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until thickened.
4
Roll out the risen dough into a circular shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5
Spread the shakshuka tomato sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese.
6
Create 3 small wells on top of the pizza and carefully crack 3 eggs into them, being careful not to break the yolks.
7
Bake in a preheated oven at 430°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is melted, and the eggs are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
8
Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, then slice and serve. Enjoy!
