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.

But purists are purists, and it’s great that they are protecting the original pizza for [...]
