BACON AND ONION PIZZA WITH MAGIC EGGS

Steps:

• For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon fat has rendered and the onions soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the bacon is crispy and the onions take on some color, about 6 minutes more. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• To assemble the pizzas, lay the bread rounds on the prepared baking sheets. Divide the sour cream over each piece of bread, leaving a small rim exposed to serve as a crust. Divide the cheese and the bacon mixture over each piece. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake until crispy around the edges and the cheese melts, 8 to 10 minutes.
• For the magic eggs: Place the shredded cabbage in a microwave-safe bowl with about 1 1/2 cups water. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes so the cabbage steams and releases its juice into the water, turning it purple.
• Place 4 egg whites into 4 small bowls. Pour 1 tablespoon colored water into each egg white. Whisk vigorously (using a whisk, not a fork) to fully incorporate the water into the egg white. Watch the color change before your eyes! Place the saute pan used to cook the bacon over medium heat. Add the egg whites, keeping them separate, and cook until almost firm, about 2 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to release the sides of the egg whites from the pan. Place 1 egg yolk in the center of each egg white. Cook to desired doneness, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining egg.
• Place 1 egg on top of each pizza. Sprinkle with the arugula and flakey sea salt. Slice into quarters and serve immediately.

ALSATIAN PIZZA WITH BACON AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. To make the pizza dough, in a bowl, whisk together the water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Pull the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead a few times, then form into a ball. Oil a second bowl, put the ball in the bowl, and turn to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free area. Let the dough rise until doubled in size, 1¿1 1/2 hours.
• 2. While the dough is rising, in a sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and stir to coat. Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and stir once more. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, until the onions are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• 3. At the same time, in a second sauté pan over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• 4. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Brush and oil the grill grate.
• 5. Dump the dough onto a floured work surface, then divide in half. Using a floured rolling pin, roll out 1 half into a round 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) in diameter and about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Repeat with the second half.
• 6. Slide 1 round onto a baker's peel or a rimless baking sheet dusted with cornmeal, and then carefully slide the round off the peel onto the grill directly over the fire. Repeat with the second round. Cook the crusts until the underside is well marked, about 2 minutes. Using the peel, transfer the crusts, grilled side up, back to the work surface.
• 7. Top each crust with half the onions, half the bacon, and then half the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Using the peel, return the topped crusts to the grill, cover the grill, and cook until each crust is firm and browned at the edges and the cheese has melted a bit, 4-6 minutes.
• 8. Transfer the pizzas to a cutting board and sprinkle with the thyme. Cut into wedges and serve at once.

ONION, BACON AND CREAM PIZZA

Steps:

• 1. To make the dough, pour the water into a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix in the yeast and 1 cup of the flour, mix, then let sit at room temperature until the mixture begins to bubble, about 30 minutes. Add the salt, stir, then add an additional cup of flour. The dough should be quite soft. Cover and let sit at room temperature until the dough has doubled in bulk, about 1-1/2 hours.
• 2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• 3. Divide the dough in half. Heavily flour a work surface, and roll out the dough to a 15 x 11-inch rectangle (the dough should be paper-thin except at the edges, where it will be slightly thicker.) Carefully transfer the dough to a well-floured baking sheet.
• 4. Mix the onions and the cream together in a medium-sized bowl and spread half on the dough. Sprinkle half the bacon evenly over the onions and cream. Repeat with the remaining dough, onions, cream, and bacon.
• 5. Bake the pizzas in the center of the preheated oven until the crust is golden and the onions soften and begin to turn golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. If you can't fit both pizzas on the center rack of the oven, switch them halfway through baking.
• 6. Remove the pizzas from the oven and slip them onto a work surface. Season with freshly ground black pepper, then cut into serving pieces.
