Ham And Artichoke Pizza
An easy to make yet favorite pizza recipe. Ham & artichoke pizza, a simplified version of the famous Italian pizza capricciosa.
Ingredients
- 10 oz pizza dough 280 g
- 4 tbsp tomato purée (passata) 66 g
- extra virgin olive oil a few drops
- 1 pinch Dried oregano
- 1 pinch salt
- 5½ oz fresh mozzarella cheese 150 g
- 1 slice cooked ham about 100 g or 3.5 oz, preferably prosciutto cotto
- 3-4 artichoke hearts canned
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the highest heat possible.
- Form the pizza dough into a ball. Start by making a circular motion with the palm of your hand, with some pressure. Then release the pressure gradually until you get a nice ball shape. Put your pizza dough balls on a lightly floured work surface. Dust them with a little more flour, and let them proof, covered with a kitchen towel, for another 15 minutes.
- Shape your dough into a large, thin disk and place it in a pizza pan.
- Put the tomato purée (passata) on your pizza dough, in the middle. With the back of a spoon or a ladle, using circular motions toward the edges, make sure the tomato covers your pizza dough. Leave an edge about 1 inch (2-3 cm) thick.
- Drizzle a few drops of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle on some dried oregano and salt.
- Add mozzarella cheese. Just tear it into bite-size pieces and place them over the tomato sauce.
- Top the pizza with the cooked ham. Add it in whole slices or tear it into bite-size pieces.
- Cut the artichoke hearts into 4 or 8 pieces. Place them on top of the pizza.
- Transfer your ham & artichoke pizza to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned.
