Today Luisa Morón, author of Cooking with my Carmela , brings us a recipe to enjoy with the family: the classic carbonara pizza recipe. Made at home, it is the richest. I already sense a smile on your lips just imagining you sinking your teeth into it!

Without a doubt, almost all of us like Italian cuisine. It is a fast and grateful cuisine, and no less exquisite for that. If we are asked what kind of recipes we are most attracted to, pasta and the famous pizzas will almost certainly come up. Although it is true that the repertoire of exquisite Italian dishes is much broader*.

Today we will prepare a homemade carbonara pizza. Easy to make and delicious. We will only need a few basic ingredients for the dough such as flour, oil, water and yeast. With them we will obtain a spectacular and not heavy homemade dough. On the other hand, for its filling I suggest a traditional carbonara although you can use any ingredient that you want to try.

Ingredients:

Ingredients for the dough:

• 400g of strong flour
• 200g of warm water
• 50gr of extra virgin olive oil
• 25g of baker's yeast
• Salt

Ingredients for the stuffing:

• 150gr of cream cheese
• 100g grated mozzarella
• 5 slices of mozzarella cheese
• 100g of smoked bacon
• 100g tomato ketchup sauce
• Oregano

Preparation:

We proceed to prepare the dough:

In a bowl add warm water together with the oil and mix, then add the yeast and mix everything again. When the yeast is completely incorporated, add the flour and a little salt on top, being careful that it does not come into contact with the yeast, since in that case it will not rise the dough.

Unite everything until we see a uniform mass and it detaches from the hands; in case you need more flour you can add a little more. You also have the option of making the dough with a kitchen robot , ideal for kneading.

Once we have the dough ready, leave it in the bowl for about an hour, covered with a kitchen towel.

After this time we will cut the dough in half, which is the amount we will need -the rest you can put in a food-safe bag and freeze for another day.

With the help of a rolling pin we will stretch the dough.

Preheat the oven to 180º and put the Emile Henry baking tray inside, so that it also preheats.

Let's prepare the filling. To do this, chop the bacon slices and reserve.

We put a layer of tomato sauce on the base of the pizza, the sliced ​​cheese, grated mozzarella cheese (only half), and the cream cheese with the help of a spatula. Finally, add the bacon plus the remaining mozzarella, sprinkle with oregano.

We take the ceramic tray out of the oven being careful not to burn ourselves, and with the help of a shovel we put the pizza on top. And baked!

As I always usually comment, each oven is a world. We will need about 15-20 minutes in the oven for it to be done, it all depends on how you like the dough, if less done or more crispy
