Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare and par-bake Artisan Detroit-Style Dough at 550°F.
- Coat the sides of your Detroit-style pan with vegetable shortening or lard so the cheese sticks and forms the crown (“frico”). Return the par-baked shell to the pan.
- Add the cheese blend, pressing it up the sides and tucking it into the corners.
- Bake in a 540°F oven until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden brown, about 8–10 minutes.
- In a sauce pot, heat Ciao Traditional Vodka Sauce, or keep a soup kettle of Ciao Vodka Sauce simmering for service.
- On a sheet pan, bake sliced pancetta for 4–6 minutes, or until curled and browned.
- Let the pizza set for about 2 minutes, then remove it from the pan.
- Cut into 6 slices, then lay down two racing stripes of vodka sauce widthwise.
- Top each slice with a piece of pancetta and a dollop of Deliziosa Stracciatella. Finish with a basil leaf on each slice and a drizzle of Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Serve and enjoy!
