This one is officially called Bountiful Bruch Pizza from an old Pampered Chef Stoneware Sensation Cookbook but you've probably heard it called "Breakfast Pizza", "Brunch Pizza" or something similar as it's so very popular and made regularly in homes and even restaurants. Although it calls for lining the stone with parchment, I have to admit that with all times I've been served this pizza at family gatherings, I've never known anyone to use parchment. It's your call!
