Fried Peach and Pancetta Pizza

Description

Growing up, I always loved when my family made pizza from scratch, but what I loved even more was what came after the meal. Any extra dough and scraps were rolled out, left to rise, fried, and sprinkled with sugar to create a simple, but delicious donut-like treat. Here we’re doing a savory twist, using the same technique to make a pizza featuring ricotta, pancetta, and peaches. Garnish with extra sprig of thyme if desired.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pancetta bacon, thickly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 12 ounces pizza dough, or more to taste, cut into quarters
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 1 cup olive oil, or as needed
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, or to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 20 slices fresh peach
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
