Ingredients

  • 1 batch of pizza dough
  • 400 ml – 13.5 oz. tomato puree
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • Salt
  • 350 gms – 12.5 oz. bocconcini or mozzarella sliced
  • 16 slices Prosciutto better if Italian
  • Rocket/Arugula
  • Grana or Parmigiano Reggiano slivers

Instructions

  1. Make the pizza dough as per this recipe and keep it to rise.
  2. While the dough rests, prepare the toppings: slice the mozzarella and make Grana slivers using a potato peeler.
  3. Prepare the tomato base by mixing the tomato puree with 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp of oregano and salt to taste.
  4. When the pizza dough is ready, divide it in 4 smaller balls and roll them with a rolling pin into 4 circles approximately 0.5 cm thick.
  5. Now put the tomato base and bake in a preheated fan forced oven at 180°C – 355°F for 15 minutes.
  6. Take them out of the oven and put the sliced mozzarella on the top. Put back in the oven for 5 minutes to let the cheese melt.
  7. When ready, take the pizze out of the oven, top them with 4 slices of prosciutto (do not cook this!) each, a handful of rocket and Grana slivers.
  8. Cut, and enjoy warm!

Recipe Notes

If you have a pizza stone, you can put the mozzarella on the pizza straight away (at the same time you put the tomato sauce) as the pizza will cook much faster on the stone (mine take about 10 minutes) and the cheese will not burn.
