Prosciutto Pizza
How to make authentic Italian prosciutto pizza at home
Ingredients
- 10 oz pizza dough 280 g
- 4 tbsp tomato purée (passata) 66 g
- olive oil extra virgin, a few drops
- 1 pinch oregano dried
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 ½ oz fresh mozzarella cheese 125 g
- 8 slices prosciutto approx. 90 g
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the highest temperature 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 the dough ball on a lightly floured work surface. Dust them with some more flour, and let them proof covered with a kitchen towel for another 15 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a large, thin disc and place it in a pizza pan.
- Spoon the tomato purée (passata) onto the center of the dough. Using the back of a spoon or a ladle, spread the tomato in circular motions toward the edges. Leave a border about 1 inch (2–3 cm) wide.
- Drizzle with a few drops of extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with dried oregano and salt.
- Add the mozzarella. Tear it into bite-size pieces and place them over the tomato sauce.
- Arrange the prosciutto slices over the pizza, covering everything except the edges.
- Transfer the pizza to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
