# Étapes de préparation:

01 - Pour very hot tap water into a metal bowl, then drain it after a short rest to keep the bowl warm. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) while you wait.
02 - Dry the bowl. Stir the yeast into the warm water for a few seconds and leave it alone for about 3 minutes until it foams up.
03 - In another bowl, sift your flour with salt and sugar.
04 - Add the olive oil to the foamy yeast water, stir quickly, then mix in the flour base with a spatula. Work it until it soaks up all the liquid.
05 - Move the dough to a floured spot, knead for around 5 minutes until smooth. Once done, cover the dough with a towel in its bowl and let it puff up by placing it over your warming oven for 5 minutes.
06 - Spray a 14-inch (35cm) pizza pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
07 - Roll the dough into a circle on your flour-dusted counter, then stretch it onto the pizza pan—push out from the middle with your hands while keeping the edges puffy.
08 - Whisk the egg with a little water, then lightly coat the outside ring of dough for a golden finish.
09 - Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the dough, stopping about 1 inch (2.5cm) from the edge.
10 - Sprinkle most of your shredded cheese onto the sauced dough, leaving the egg-washed rim bare.
11 - Lay out the Canadian bacon and Vienna sausage slices evenly across the cheesy surface.
12 - Top with Parmesan, the leftover shredded cheese, oregano, and basil for flavor.
13 - Bake for roughly 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is browned.
14 - Once it's out, scatter parsley over the top if you'd like. Cut into 8 slices and serve right away.
