Pizza with Pancetta and Wurstel

In a generous bowl, we add the wheat flour, mixed with sugar and salt, to give a balanced taste to our dough. We add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, an ingredient that will provide a fine aroma and a fluffier texture to the dough. Separately, we dissolve the fresh yeast in about 110 ml of lukewarm water, letting it activate for a few minutes. This step is essential to ensure proper fermentation. Once the yeast starts to foam, we pour it over the flour mixture and the rest of the ingredients. We knead the dough with our hands, using vigorous movements until it becomes elastic and homogeneous. It is important to ensure that it no longer sticks to our hands and has a pleasant texture.

After obtaining a well-kneaded dough, we cover it with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place, away from drafts, for about 1 hour and a half, until it doubles in volume. This rising process is crucial for achieving a fluffy and airy base. When the dough has risen, we carefully remove it from the bowl and place it on a baking paper that we have cut to the size of the tray. We roll out the dough using a rolling pin, ensuring that the thickness is even, between 0.5 cm and 1 cm.

After the dough is rolled out, we transfer it to the tray, leaving the baking paper underneath. Over the prepared dough, we spread the six tablespoons of tomato sauce, which will provide a moist and flavorful base for our ingredients. We add the two tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle dried oregano and dried basil, as these herbs are essential for an authentic Mediterranean taste. We preheat the oven and place the tray in, allowing the dough to bake for 10 minutes at a medium temperature.

Meanwhile, we prepare the topping ingredients: we cut the pancetta, sausages, mozzarella, and tomatoes into small pieces, which will add delicious flavor to our dish. After the 10 minutes of baking, we take the tray out of the oven and decorate the dough with pieces of smoked pancetta and sausages, making sure they are evenly distributed. Then, we add the pieces of mozzarella, which will melt beautifully, and the chopped tomatoes, which will bring a fresh note.

We reintroduce the tray into the oven for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is deliciously melted and the dough is nicely browned. Finally, we can sprinkle a little fresh oregano and basil for an extra flavor boost. We take the tray out of the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. This delicious pizza is served warm, perfect for a relaxing evening with friends or family. Enjoy your meal!
