Pizza with Eggs, Roasted Red Peppers, Olives and Rocket

This vibrant vegetarian pizza offers a sophisticated twist on a homemade classic, combining rich Mediterranean flavours with a perfectly crisp crust. The base features a blend of plain and wholemeal flour for a deeper, nuttier taste, providing the ideal foundation for sweet roasted red peppers and salty Kalamata olives. Using red onion rings as natural nests for the eggs ensures a beautiful presentation and a wonderfully soft, jammy yolk in every slice.

Perfect for a weekend brunch or a relaxed Friday night supper, this dish balances savoury Parmesan and aromatic rosemary with a fresh handful of peppery rocket. Making the dough in advance allows the flavours to develop, resulting in a professional-style finish. Serve this wholesome pizza straight from the oven for a nutritious and comforting meal that feels truly indulgent.

Ingredients for Pizza with Eggs, Roasted Red Peppers, Olives and Rocket

  • 2 tablespoons warm water (46°C)

  • 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

  • 170g plain flour

  • 80ml wholemeal flour

  • 120ml cool water (18°C to 21°C)

  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

  • Olive oil

  • Cornmeal (for sprinkling)

  • Olive oil

  • 180ml drained roasted red peppers from jar, cut into 1/3-inch strips

  • 50g Kalamata olives, pitted, quartered

  • 120g Parmesan cheese shavings

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary

  • 4 large red onion rings (each 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick)

  • 4 large eggs

  • 2 cups (lightly packed) rocket

Pour 2 tablespoons warm water into large bowl of stand mixer fitted with dough hook; sprinkle yeast over. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 15 minutes (mixture will not be foamy). Add both flours, 120ml cool water, and 1 teaspoon coarse salt; mix on medium-low speed 4 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes, then mix on medium speed until dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky, about 3 minutes.

Lightly oil medium bowl. Gather dough into ball and transfer to prepared bowl; turn to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature 30 minutes. Chill dough overnight. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

Transfer bowl to warm draft-free area and let dough rise, covered, until very slightly puffy, at least 2 hours.

Place pizza stone or rimless baking sheet in oven; preheat to 260°C. Sprinkle pizza paddle or another baking sheet generously with cornmeal. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round; transfer to paddle. Brush dough with oil; scatter peppers, then olives over. Sprinkle with Parmesan and rosemary. Arrange onion rings atop pizza, spacing apart. Slide pizza onto stone or baking sheet in oven; bake until lightly browned but not crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove pizza from oven and gently crack 1 egg into each onion ring. Return pizza to oven and continue to bake until eggs are softly set and crust is golden, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle pizza with salt and pepper. Scatter rocket over.
