pizza dough for one pizza(store-bought or homemade)
⅓ - ½poundBrussels sprouts(thinly sliced)
4ouncespancetta(diced)
½cupricotta cheese
1 ¼cupshredded mozzarella cheese(divided)
black pepper(to taste)
⅛cupgrated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
In a large skillet, saute the pancetta until brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain the excess grease, leaving 1-2 teaspoons in the skillet. Add the brussels sprouts to the skillet and saute until softened and slightly caramelized. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add the ricotta cheese and 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella. Stir to combine. Season with black pepper to taste. Set aside.
Lightly brush a sheet pan with oil. Place the pizza dough on the pan and shape the dough into a rectangle about the size of the sheet pan. Add spoonfuls of the cheese mixture randomly over the top of the dough. Leave the spoonfuls of cheese scattered for a more rustic look. Alternatively, spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup mozzarella cheese over the top. Arrange the sauteed brussels sprouts and pancetta over the cheese. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
