Smoked Scamorza, Spinach and Pancetta Pizza
- 4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, chopped
- 5 ounces baby spinach, chopped
- 3 tablespoons flour
- One 16-ounce ball pizza dough
- 8 ounces smoked scamorza cheese or smoked mozzarella, grated
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 eggs, at room temperature
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Place a rack on the highest level and leave space on the bottom of the oven for easy access.
- Place the pancetta in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
- Cook the pancetta, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until crispy, about 8 minutes.
- Drain half of the fat.
- Add the spinach and turn off the heat.
- Stir until the spinach wilts.
- Set aside.
- Dust an upside-down rimmed baking sheet with the flour.
- Gently stretch the pizza dough and place on the dusted tray.
- Continue to stretch out to 1/4-inch thick leaving it a little thicker around the edges.
- Sprinkle the dough with half of the cheese.
- Spoon the spinach mixture over the cheese layer and top with the remaining cheese.
- Place the sheet tray directly on the bottom of the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
- Move the tray to the top shelf and finish cooking until golden brown and the crust is cooked, 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs in the oil and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
- Top the pizza with the eggs and serve.
