pizza

pizza with smoked pancetta, mozzarella, fresh chili and tomatoes

method

Smear the pasta-and-pizza/the_quickest_tomato_sauce">tomato sauce evenly over the pasta-and-pizza/pizza_dough">pizza base. Tear the mozzarella into pieces and dob these over, then scatter over as much chili as you like and season with salt and pepper. Lay the pancetta over the top so it will crisp up during cooking and the juices will cook into the pizza. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and cook until crisp and golden.

• from Jamie's Italy

ingredients

• 6 tablespoons tomato sauce
• 85g/3oz mozzarella
• 1 fresh red chilli, finely sliced
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 or 5 slices of smoked pancetta, thinly sliced
• extra virgin olive oil

Judging by a shop bought pizza and past experience, a hot oven is quite good for pizza, because it will crispen up the dough as well as cooknig and melting the cheese and topping on top. Maybe 200C? Do that until it looks cooked. I guess you have to play it by ear really. If it's taking ages, up the temperature!

Jamie I have to say without a doubt that you rock!!! I have always been very interested in your style of cooking as you make it so uncomplicated, "eezy peezy". This Pizza is unbelievably wonderful. My partner is so damn fussy and he really enjoyed it. Thanks!! Oh and thanks for the word Pukker... Sunny SA
