Wake up to a savoury breakfast pizza

While many of us may be guilty of frequently hoeing into stale pizza left over from the night before, we’ve discovered that rising in the morning to handcraft a fresh sphere of breakfast-flavoured goodness is a far better option. Indulge your cravings and whims, opting for fresh vegetables and lighter toppings on a clear-headed morning or heartier bacon and eggs when foggy head and fragile stomach calls for grease. The recipe outlined below is ideal for the early riser, the fragile and hungover, or the late bruncher. Follow the directions to make your own pizza base and basil pesto, or take the simple route and swing by your local grocery store. Throw a few pizzas in the oven, invite your mates around and enjoy a savoury pizza party for breakfast.
