Italian Carbonara Pizza Recipe

• 1 cup grated Parmesan

• 2 eggs

• Crushed black pepper

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for topping

• 3 thick slices pancetta, cut into 1/3-inch cubes

How to do 

1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F with a pizza stone on the highest rack.

2. Make the egg cream by whisking together the Parmesan, eggs and a big sprinkle of black pepper until thick and foamy.

3. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the pancetta. Cook over high heat until crunchy and fragrant, about 6 minutes.

4. Stretch the dough on a floured work surface to an 11-inch circle. Spoon the egg cream onto the center of the pizza and spread over the dough with a spoon. Evenly distribute the pancetta on top and sprinkle over the mozzarella.

5. Transfer the dough onto the pizza stone and bake until puffy, about 6 minutes, then turn on the broiler and broil until the crust takes on some color, 45 seconds.

6. Remove the pizza and top with a sprinkle of pecorino, more crushed black pepper and a swirl of olive oil.
