Ingredients

7 ounces pizza dough

2 tablespoons heavy cream

3 ounces mozzarella knots, shredded

6 thin slices pancetta

One 2-inch piece zucchini, thinly sliced

2 ounces herbed cream cheese

Directions

  1. Place a pizza stone on the floor or the lowest rack of your oven. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  2. Pat the pizza dough into a 12-inch diameter circle and place it on a peel. Spread on the heavy cream, then the mozzarella. Place the pancetta slices on so there is pancetta on each slice of pizza (6 slices). Finally, add the zucchini and chunks of the cream cheese. Slide the pizza onto the stone and bake for 8 for 10 minutes.
  3. Buon Appetito!

This pizza is a winner and one of the best pizzas I have ever made. I have made it several times and have used pancetta, no meat at all, and pepperoni. Other than playing with the meat, I have made it exactly as written and it has been delicious every time. I like the absence of tomato sauce and with the brushing of the cream and the mozzarella, the zucchini and herb cream cheese, the flavor is outstanding. I was skeptical about the brushed cream, but it really adds a moistness and a nice platform for the other ingredients. I like adding thinly sliced onions as well. This one is a keeper!
