- What if the egg white doesn't cook through?
- You can gently spread the white with a fork to create a thinner layer, helping it cook faster.
- Can I use frozen spinach?
- Yes, but defrost it and squeeze out the water thoroughly, otherwise it will make the pizza soggy.
Pizza alla Bismark
Pizza alla Bismark is named after the famous German Chancellor, who supposedly loved any dish topped with an egg. The soul of this pizza is timing: the goal is a crisp dough and a set egg white, while the yolk remains runny, coating the ham and spinach like a natural sauce.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat the oven to 220°C.
Tip: A hot oven is needed for the dough to rise suddenly.
2
✓
Roll out the dough, spread with tomato sauce, and sprinkle with mozzarella.
Tip: Leave space at the edge for the crust.
3
✓
Place the pizza in the oven to bake, but only for about 7-8 minutes (until half-cooked).
Tip: If you put it in with the raw egg at the start, the egg will be hard by the time the dough is ready. Two-stage baking is the solution.
4
✓
Remove the semi-baked pizza. Scatter over the spinach leaves and crack two eggs into the centre.
Tip: Crack the eggs into a small bowl first and slide them onto the pizza to prevent spreading and shell fragments.
5
✓
Return to the oven for another 5-6 minutes.
Tip: Watch the white: if it's opaque and firm, take it out, even if the yolk is wobbly (coagulation).
6
✓
Remove, sprinkle with Parmesan and basil, and drizzle with oil. Serve immediately.
Tip: When cut, the warm yolk mixes with the cheese and tomato like a creamy sauce (emulsion-like effect).
