Pizza alla Pancetta e Uova

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
A pizza inspired by Spaghetti Carbonara, also known as 'Pizza Bismarck'. This is a rich, peasant dish where the egg yolk functions as a creamy sauce on the crisp dough. The biggest challenge is timing: the dough needs to be cooked through, but the egg yolk must remain runny. This is a luxury version of the 'breakfast for dinner' concept.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to maximum (230-250°C). Roll out the dough, leaving the edges thicker (rim) to hold the egg.

Tip: The thicker rim acts as a dam, preventing the egg white from running off the dough.
2 ✓

Brush lightly with olive oil, sprinkle with mozzarella and the thin slices of pancetta.

Tip: The fat from the pancetta renders out during baking and flavours the dough. (Fat rendering).
3 ✓

Place in the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is almost done and the cheese has melted.

Tip: This par-baking ensures the dough is crisp even under the egg.
4 ✓

Remove the pizza and carefully crack two eggs into the centre (or wherever you like).

Tip: Crack the eggs into a small bowl first, then slide them onto the pizza so no shell gets in and they don't spread too much.
5 ✓

Return to the oven for another 3-4 minutes. Watch it: as soon as the white turns opaque but the yolk is still wobbly, take it out!

Tip: The goal is denaturation (setting) of the white without drying out the yolk.
6 ✓

Immediately sprinkle generously with freshly ground pepper and serve. Use the yolk as a dip.

Tip: The heat of the pepper counteracts the richness of the egg and bacon.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the egg cook hard?
You put it on the pizza too early. The egg only needs a few minutes, whereas the pizza needs more. Add it to the topping at the end of baking!
Isn't the egg white raw?
The white sets at 60-65°C. In a hot oven, this happens in moments, so it is safe to eat.
