Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sourdough starter, warm water, olive oil, and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rest at room temperature for 6 to 8 hours until doubled in size.

- Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the crust.
- Add the sliced green onions.
- Carefully crack the eggs evenly across the pizza.
- Sprinkle black pepper over the top.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes until the egg whites are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
