Pizza Carbonara

Cookinero 7 May 2025

It is believed that carbonara was invented by Italian coal miners (carbonaio) when they worked in the Apennine Mountains. They took with them solid supplies of food, including cheese, pasta, dry-cured pork, olive oil, salt and pepper. All this was included in the composition of the legendary pasta, which can now be bought in any Italian cafe. Pizza carbonara is a rare phenomenon, but you can easily make it according to our recipe.

Pizza Carbonara - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use baking powder for a quicker dough, but note that the texture will be denser. Use 1.5 tsp baking powder per 1 cup of flour, and skip the resting time.
Try smoked tofu, sautéed mushrooms, or plant-based bacon as flavorful vegetarian alternatives to ham.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for best texture.
Yes! Freeze the dough (pre-rolled) in an airtight bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before using.
Use a cauliflower crust or almond flour-based dough. Adjust baking time as needed for crispiness.
Opt for nutritional yeast or dairy-free cheese alternatives made from cashews or coconut oil for a similar creamy texture.
Absolutely! Divide the dough into small rounds and reduce baking time to 8–10 minutes for bite-sized servings.
Pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings, and avoid overloading with wet ingredients like excess sauce.
A light arugula salad with lemon dressing or roasted vegetables complement the rich flavors without overpowering them.
