- 2 green onions
- 250 g grated cheese

Preparing the dough

1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure you have all the ingredients on hand. Using a bread machine to prepare the dough makes the process much simpler, but you can knead it by hand if you prefer.

2. Order of ingredients: In the bread machine, add the ingredients in the following order:
- 220 ml lu lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon salt

3. Program selection: Set the bread machine on the DOUGH program. The dough will be perfectly kneaded and risen in about an hour.

Preparing the Filling

1. Prepare the meat: In a frying pan, add a little oil and fry the bacon and sliced sausage until crispy. This step will add great flavor to your pizza.

2. Making the mushroom stew: If you don't have mushroom stew prepared, you can make it with fresh mushrooms, onions and seasonings. Sauté the mushrooms and onion in a pan with a little oil until softened and caramelized.

3. Egg scramble: In a bowl, whisk the 4 eggs well with the yogurt and add the finely chopped green onions. This mixture will add a creamy texture to the pizza.

Pizza Assembly

1. Prepare the tray: Place a sheet of baking paper in a large baking tray and brush with a little butter or oil to avoid sticking.

2. Forming the pastry: When the dough is risen, sprinkle the flour on the work surface and roll the pastry into the shape of the tray.

3. Assembling the pizza:
- Place the dough in the prepared pan.
- Spread ketchup all over.
- Spread the mushroom stew evenly over the pizza top.
- Sprinkle bacon and fried sausage over the mushrooms.
- Pour the egg and yogurt mixture over the topping.
- Finally, grate the cheese over the top and sprinkle a little oregano, rosemary and curry for extra flavor.

Baking

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Baking the pizza: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

Once the pizza is ready, let it cool slightly before slicing. You can serve it with ketchup or your favorite sauce. This pizza is great cold, so feel free to bring it to picnics or parties!
