Pizza with Red Onion and Pancetta Recipe is flavored by the Italian style bacon that's sliced like salami and uses red onion, pancetta, mozzarella cheese, pecorino, Easy Mix Pizza Dough and fresh tomato sauce to create this pizza recipe.


INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large (about 10 oz) red onion, thinly slivered
1/4 pound pancetta (round Italian bacon), cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
3 cups (3/4 lb) shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated pecorino, Romano, or Parmesan cheese
Easy Mix Pizza Dough (search recipes)
Fresh Tomato Sauce (search recipes)


DIRECTIONS
1: Prepare Easy-Mix Pizza Dough and let it rise. While dough rises, make sauce, then set it aside. Preheat oven to 450° F. Heat oil in a large frying pan over moderate heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft but not browned (8 to 10 minutes). Remove onion with a slotted spoon and reserve.
 
2: Add pancetta to same pan and cook, stirring often, until it begins to brown (about 3 minutes). Drain on paper towels, reserving oil in pan.
 
3: Grease two 11x12-inch pizza pans (or a Single 17x18-inch pan). Divide dough into two equal portions; roll each half out to an 8- inch Circle (or roll all of the dough to a 12x14-inch circle). Use your hands to pat and stretch dough to fit pans. Brush evenly with oil remaining in frying pan. Divide sauce over the pizza(s). Sprinkle evenly with cheeses. Arrange onion and pancetta evenly over pizzas (or large, single pizza).
 
4: Bake on lowest rack of oven until crust browns well (15 to 20 minutes for small pizzas, 18 to 20 minutes for large, single pizza). Cut into wedges or squares and serve at once.
