Directions
For the Pizza Crust
Add yeast, water, sugar and ½ cup of flour into a mixing bowl; whisk well.
Add olive oil, salt and 2 cups of flour to mixing bowl; mix well until dry. Knead on lightly floured surface for 10 minutes. Add more flour, a little at a time, until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Brush inside of a large bowl with oil. Place ball of dough into bowl, turning so dough is lightly coated in oil. Cover with dish towel and let sit in a warm spot for 2 hours or until dough doubles in size.
Once dough is finished rising, punch it down and place on lightly floured surface. Roll dough with rolling pin until it is ⅓-inch thick.
For the Toppings
Cook potatoes by heating butter in skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced potatoes in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Cook for 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.
Heat oven to 450°F.
Brush prepared pizza dough with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, dried basil, and chili powder. Top with ham, Cheddar, onion and spinach. Crack eggs on top. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is crisp. If eggs aren’t fully cooked, broil for up to 1 minute.
Top with cilantro and serve.
