stromboli with smoked pancetta, mozzarella, fresh chilli and tomatoes

We were going to make a second pie but Shawn decided to attempt a stromboli. I’m going to admit, I was impressed with the outcome.The chilis gave this a nice kick. Basically, a pizza, but rolled up. Brilliant.

Ingredients:

• fresh pizza dough
• • 6 tablespoons tomato sauce
• • 85g/3oz mozzarella
• • 1 fresh red chilli, finely sliced
• • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• • 4 or 5 slices of smoked pancetta, thinly sliced
• • extra virgin olive oil

Recipe: Jamie Oliver

Smear the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base. Tear the mozzarella into pieces and dob these over, then scatter over as much chilli as you like and season with salt and pepper. Lay the pancetta over the top so it will crisp up during cooking and the juices will cook into the pizza. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and cook until crisp and golden. 20 minutes.
