Ingredients

• 270 g Strong White Bread Flour
• 7 g Fast Action Dried Yeast
• ½ tsp Sea Salt
• ½ tsp Caster Sugar
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 160 ml Tepid (Lukewarm) Water
• 150 g Ricotta Cheese
• 2 tbsp Parmesan (grated)
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 160 g Pancetta
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 125 g Mozzarella (grated)
• Top with a handful of wild rocket

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 240°c (220 fan).
2. Place the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix with a spoon.
3. Pour in the olive oil and tepid water. Mix in with a spoon then use your hands to bring the dough together.
4. Knead the dough for 1 minute on a lightly floured work surface before placing it back in the bowl (covered with clingfilm or plastic wrap) to prove for 45 minutes at room temperature (you could speed up proving by putting the bowl in a warm place like an airing cupboard).
5. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface or cutting board to roughly 30 cm diameter and place on a pizza stone or baking tray. Leave to rest for 5 minutes whilst you get the toppings ready.
6. Make the white sauce by mixing together the ricotta, grated Parmesan, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
7. Spread the white sauce on the base of the pizza and top with the cubed pancetta.
8. Sprinkle over the grated mozzarella and oregano and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and bubbling in a very hot oven (240c or 220 fan).
9. Once out of the oven top with the wild rocket before serving.
