Lachie Strachan’s Father’s Day Vegemite Breakfast Pizza

Lachie Strachan’s recipe for a Father’s Day Vegemite Breakfast Pizza

It’s Father’s Day this Sunday and this recipe is going all out Aussie but with a slight twist. This is a play on the classic smashed avocado and toast, however we are turning this into a proper breakfast pizza for Dad! The whole family will enjoy this one!

Instructions

1. To make the pizza dough just follow the method on the back of the packet of your Lighthouse brand Bread and Pizza flour which you can find at your local supermarket.
2. For the best results prove overnight. Knockdown the dough ½ hour before cooking to release gas and form a smooth ball again and let rise till you are ready.
3. Preheat BBQ with your pizza stone in place with the lid closed on high heat for around 20 minutes.
4.  Roll out the dough onto a pizza peel or pizza tray that has been lightly floured. Be sure to leave the edges a little thicker by pushing out gently with your fingertips this will give you a puffier crust.
5. Spread vegemite evenly over the pizza base but not all the way to the edge and then evenly spread your pizza cheese. Place into BBQ on high head with the lid closed for around 8-12 minutes until crust has formed.
6. Fry your eggs with butter & season with salt and pepper, set aside. Then mash your avocado with the lemon juice.
7. Once your pizza is out top with the avocado, eggs, tomatoes and fresh parsley. If you are up for it drizzle a little hot sauce over the top which is a game changer!
