Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • thickly sliced pancetta
  • olive oil
Put thickly sliced pancetta in a cold skillet with a drizzle of olive oil and cook on medium until well caramelized; turn off the heat and let it cool in its oil.
  • prepared pizza dough
  • flour
Cut the pizza dough into quarters, dust lightly with flour and roll and stretch to about an eighth of an inch thick, in an irregular shape.
  • olive oil
Let rest about 5 minutes.
Shallow fry in about half an inch of olive oil in a heavy cast iron skillet on medium-high, about 2 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
Drain well on paper towels; this can be done a day ahead.
  • ricotta cheese
  • fresh thyme leaves
  • black pepper
  • 5 slices peaches
On a foil-lined baking sheet, lighter concave side up, spread with ricotta, scatter thyme leaves and the pancetta, add black pepper and nestle in about five peach slices.
Topping and baking the pizzas
  • parmigiano reggiano
  • extra virgin olive oil
Grate parmigiano reggiano generously over and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
Bake at 475F for 12 to 15 minutes until browned.
  • thyme sprigs (optional)
Cool 5 to 10 minutes, garnish with thyme sprigs and serve.
