Ingredients of rocket pizza :

• 4 thin slices Italian smoked pancetta
• ½ quantity of pizza dough
• 80g pizza sauce
• 65g mozzarella, cubed
• 4 whole sun-dried tomatoes
• 40g rocket leaves
• 2 tbsp Caesar dressing
• Pinch of dried oregano
• 15g grated Grana Padano

Method of preparation :

1. Begin by preheating a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7 or as high as your oven will go. Meanwhile, lay the slices of pancetta on another baking sheet and cook in the oven for about 2 minutes until they turn golden and crispy. Once done, remove the pancetta from the oven and set it aside.
2. Now, stretch and roll the pizza dough into a rectangle or rustic circle. You can refer to the opposite page for guidance on how to stretch the dough.
3. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet or pizza stone from the oven, then place the rolled dough on top. Quickly spread the tomato sauce over the base, ensuring to leave a 1cm gap around the edge. Next, evenly distribute the cubed mozzarella over the sauce.
4. Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the pizza base becomes crisp and golden, and the mozzarella has melted to perfection.
5. Once the pizza is ready, remove it from the oven and generously top it with the sun-dried tomatoes and a handful of fresh rocket leaves. Drizzle the Caesar dressing gently over the pizza to add a burst of flavor.
6. Place the crisp pancetta slices on top of the dressed pizza. Finish it off with a pinch of dried oregano and a generous sprinkle of grated Grana Padano for that irresistible cheesy touch.
7. Serve your Rocket Pizza immediately while it’s hot and bubbling with flavor. It’s a culinary masterpiece that’s sure to impress your taste buds with its unique combination of ingredients. Enjoy!
