METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Place the yeast, sugar and water in a bowl and set aside in a warm place for 5 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. Place the flour, salt and olive oil in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the yeast mixture and bring together to form a dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in a large bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and set aside in a warm place for 15–20 minutes. 
2. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to make a 25cm square. Transfer to a deep-sided 25cm-square baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper and push dough into the edges. Crack the eggs onto the dough and top with the pancetta and tomatoes. Sprinkle with the cheese, chilli flakes and basil. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 12–14 minutes or until golden. Serves 6–8
