Place the flour mixed with the salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the egg yolks and the yeast, which has been previously dissolved in the warm milk.
Begin incorporating the flour into the liquid ingredients until you obtain a soft and homogeneous dough. If necessary, add a little more milk.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Roll out the dough into a circular shape and place it on a baking tray.
Drizzle the pizza dough with a little oil and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over it. Sprinkle generously with coarsely grated mozzarella cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and top with the smoked bacon slices. Distribute the fried eggs evenly over the pizza.
Return to the oven for another 10 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.
Ensure the milk is warm but not hot when dissolving the yeast to activate it properly.
Knead the dough thoroughly to achieve a smooth and elastic texture.
Fry the eggs just before adding them to the pizza for the best flavor and texture.
Use smoked bacon for a richer flavor, but you can substitute with regular bacon if preferred.
Serve the pizza immediately to enjoy the crispy texture of the dough and the melted cheese.
