This is a comfort-combo pizza that is the ideal partner for a chilled bottle of pét-nat on a summer evening. The smoky pancetta and mushroom really benefit from plenty of fresh thyme and the milky mozzarella pulls all the flavours together into a wood-fired delight. Finish with a good pinch of cracked black pepper.
Method
Whilst you are preheating your oven to 400˚C cook your mushrooms and pancetta in a small skillet in the pizza oven with olive oil and thyme. Once the mushrooms are browned season to taste.
Then move the fire to one side and layer your pizza toppings onto your rolled out dough. Ladle on a generous spoonful of tomato sauce and then spread out your pancetta and sautéed mushrooms. Dot pieces of mozzarella in the gaps and cook in your pizza oven for 3-4 minutes, turning for an evenly baked crust.

Ploughman's Pizza! If I’m honest I wasn’t sure how this pizza would turn out, but I must confess I loved it. What’s not to like? Stone baked pizza dough, wood-fired grilled cheddar, pickled onions, sliced west country ham and a hidden layer of homemade piccalilli. Perfect to enjoy in the garden this autumn. Serve with [...]
Nduja and Nectarine with Tarragon Pizza! I’m not sure there is a pizza that is more iconically summer 2022 than this combo. It is a sweet and spicy, like a heatwave in its own right. The tarragon is essential for the anise to tie the two sides of flavour together into one perfect topping vibe. [...]
Stone Baked Pissaladiere with Smokey wood-fired Onions! Pissaladiere is one of my absolute favourites. It’s a sort of pizza/tart hybrid flavoured with sweet caramelised onions, black olives and anchovies - hailing from Liguria but most often associated with the south of France. A Pissaladiere is perfect as pre-dinner finger food with a glass of bubbles [...]
