Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 500 gms – 1.1 lbs. flour
- 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp of salt
- 250 ml – 8.5 oz. lukewarm water
- 1 sachet of dry yeast 7 gms – 1/4 oz.

- 40 gms – 1.5 oz. ham
Instructions
Pizza Dough
-
Prepare the pizza dough.
-
In the meantime, prepare your tomato sauce by mixing the purée with salt, extra virgin olive oil and oregano. Keep it aside.
Toppings
-
In this case, I have used ham and green olives. Simply slice them and keep aside.
-
When the dough has risen, divide into 15 equal balls and flatten them with your palm. They have to be about 1.2 cm – ½ inch thick.
-
Place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper and spoon the tomato sauce on the top.
-
Bake in a preheated fan forced oven at 190°C – 375°F for 15 minutes or until the pizza base is cooked.
-
Then take them out, add the shredded mozzarella first and then the other toppings.
-
Put the pizzette back in the oven and broil them for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and has become golden brown.
-
Let them cool down… and serve.
