Ingredients
Scale
- For the Pizza Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the Creamy Carbonara Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Pizza Toppings:
- 1 cup pancetta, diced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the pizza dough: In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. Combine flour and salt in another bowl, then add yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until dough forms and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let it rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour.
- Create the creamy carbonara sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, egg yolks, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well blended and creamy.
- Assemble the pizza: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the risen dough and place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the creamy carbonara sauce evenly over the base. Top with diced pancetta and shredded mozzarella, covering every inch.
- Bake the pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Remove, garnish with parsley, and let it cool before slicing.
Notes
- Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
- You can use store-bought pizza dough if you’re short on time. Simply roll it out and follow the assembly instructions.
- This pizza can be frozen for up to 2 months. Wrap tightly and reheat in the oven for best results.
- Customize toppings based on your preference; bacon or veggies can be great alternatives to pancetta.
