Start by preheating the oven to 230 degrees celsius. Then grease and line two baking trays with baking paper. Next heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add the pancetta and cook for one to two minutes each side or until just crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel and let the pancetta cool slightly before breaking into large pieces.
Next roll out one portion of the dough on a lightly floured work surface to a 25-centimetre disk. Place on one of the lined trays and repeat with the remaining dough and place on the remaining tray. Spread each pizza base evenly with ricotta then season with salt and pepper.
Top with the nectarine and pancetta and drizzle with a little oil. Pop in the oven and bake, swapping the trays halfway through cooking for 15 minutes or until the pizza bases are crisp and golden.
To serve sprinkle the pizzas with rocket and basil leaves, drizzle with vinegar and the remaining oil. Enjoy this sweet and salty combo for your next pizza night.
