Method
- To make the tomato sauce, heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan and cook the onion and 1 garlic clove for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and mixed herbs. Bring to the boil and gently simmer, stirring regularly, for 8-10 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to break down and the sauce develops a thicker consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pizza dough according to the packet instructions. Set aside one-third of the dough for the foccacia bread.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until it is roughly 30cm across and 5mm thick. Transfer to a baking tray and evenly spoon on the tomato sauce. Arrange the mushrooms, pancetta and mozzarella on top and season with salt and pepper.
- Roll out the dough for the foccacia bread into a 1/2cm thick oval. Use your fingers to make rows of indentations in the dough. Transfer to a baking tray and brush with 1 tbsp oil, sprinkle with the rosemary and season well with salt.
- Bake the pizza and foccacia bread in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancetta and pizza crust are crisp and the foccacia bread is golden.
