Get the Big Red Triple Tomato Pizza with Pancetta and Brie Recipe<\/h1>\n

I have always loved tomatoes<\/a> and cured pork, the fresh sweet acidity is a great foil to the salty, crisp and oily pancetta. The cream sauce and just enough mozzarella for a good pull lies under the pancetta. The fig leaf and lemon in the tomato honey imparts a bright vanilla and coconut nuance which embraces the brie slice perfectly and the tomato crisps add an exciting finale to each bite. This pizza is all in the prep. Once that is done, it is incredibly fast to make. Just make sure the pizza cools or the brie will melt into butter.<\/p>\n

Big Red Triple Tomato Pizza — Crisps<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Author: Pizza Today<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
Ingredients<\/div>\n
    \n
  • 12 Small Toy tomatoes, (12 ounces total) 1-1.5 inches wide<\/li>\n
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon<\/li>\n
  • 2 fig leaves<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon sea salt<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Instructions<\/div>\n
    \n
      \n
    1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Cut a shallow \u201cX\u201d into the bottom of each tomato.<\/li>\n
    2. Place a medium bowl with ice water near the boiling water.<\/li>\n
    3. When the water is boiling, drop the tomatoes in the water 5 at a time and boil them for 15 seconds each until pulling them and placing them into the ice bath.<\/li>\n
    4. After a few minutes in the ice bath, take each tomato out and pull the skin down the side and remove. Gently place the skins on a plate side by side by side.<\/li>\n
    5. Place all the tomatoes, the lemon zest, salt, and the fig leaves into a small pot and simmer while breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Simmer on medium until the tomatoes start breaking down even more- 12-15 minutes. Remove fig leaves.<\/li>\n
    6. Turn off heat and grind the tomatoes up with an immersion blender.<\/li>\n
    7. Place a colander filled with a large square of cheesecloth on it.<\/li>\n
    8. Pour the now cooled tomato mixture into it and let the juices flow through.<\/li>\n
    9. Brush with a wooden spoon to clear any blockage. Finally, pull up each corner of the cheese cloth and twist the top to force out the rest of the juice. You should have a final yield of \u00be cup to 1 cup.<\/li>\n
    10. Place the juice in another small saut\u00e9 pan and add the sugar.<\/li>\n
    11. Reduce the tomato juice on medium-low heat and when the sugar has liquified, add \u00bd teaspoon of the lemon juice. Taste to see if the lemon juice adds a bit of acidity to the sauce. If you need more, add a spritz more.<\/li>\n
    12. Reduce the sauce by \u00be or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon and has the viscosity of honey. Remember that the sauce will turn thicker as it cools.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          Author: Pizza Today<\/span><\/div>\n
          \n
          Ingredients<\/div>\n
            \n
          • 9 ounces proprietary pizza dough ball<\/li>\n
          • 2 tablespoons b\u00e9chamel cream sauce<\/li>\n
          • 2.5 ounces shredded mozzarella<\/li>\n
          • 3 ounces Italian style pancetta, (4-5 rounds) or 5 thin slices thin-cut bacon<\/li>\n
          • 1 Roma tomato, (1.8 ounce), cored with the thick wall diced small, (3\/4 cm)<\/li>\n
          • 5 thin slices of cold Brie cheese (approx. 3.5 -4 ounces)<\/li>\n
          • 2 tablespoons tomato honey, (see recipe above)<\/li>\n
          • 15-20 crispy tomato skins<\/li>\n

            Instructions<\/div>\n
            \n
              \n
            1. Pre-heat a deck oven to 550 F.<\/li>\n
            2. Place the pancetta or bacon on a small parchment lined tray to partially cook. If not, the bacon will not cook enough on the pizza.<\/li>\n
            3. Cook for 3-4 minutes until it has leeched some fat and is just starting to crisp up.<\/li>\n
            4. Pull the pancetta from the oven and reserve it for the pizza.<\/li>\n
            5. Form a 12-inch pizza round from the dough ball and spread the b\u00e9chamel across the pizza.<\/li>\n
            6. Spread the shredded mozzarella on top of the cream sauce then place the pancetta around the pizza followed by the diced tomato.<\/li>\n
            7. Bake the pizza in the oven for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crisp.<\/li>\n
            8. Remove pizza and place on a cooling rack. Wait for 5 minutes then top the Brie in a spoked wheel pattern starting from the center to the crust.<\/li>\n
            9. Drizzle the tomato honey around the pizza and on top of the Brie.<\/li>\n
            10. Place the crispy tomato skins around the pizza like wings then place the basil bud in the center.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
