Prosciutto Pizza
Crispy Prosciutto and melty mozzarella make this Prosciutto Pizza so scrumptious!
Ingredients
- 1 lbs prepared pizza dough or 2 large pre-made pizza shells
- 200 ml pizza sauce
- 85 grams San Daniele Prosciutto 1 package
- 200 grams grated mozzarella
- 110 grams fresh mozzarella, torn into large pieces
- 6 medium fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp semolina flour or corse cornmeal for sprinkling on pizza stone or tray
Instructions
-
Remove pizza dough from fridge if using fresh pizza and preheat oven or BBQ to 475° F with 2 pizza stones or baking trays upside down on middle rack in oven.
-
Prepare fresh pizza dough as per package (or roll out into 2 pizza shapes of your choice on a floured surface).
-
Sprinkle semolina flour on preheated pizza stones or baking trays (keep trays upside down) and place pizza dough on top. Bake/grill fresh pizza dough for approximately 3 minutes (skip this step if using pre-made pizza shells).
-
Remove stones or baking trays from oven/grill and top pizza dough/shells with pizza sauce, grated mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella (tucked in between prosciutto), and sprinkle basil on top. Bake/grill** for 7-12 minutes or until dough is cooked through, cheese is nicely browned on top, and prosciutto looks crispy.
-
Let cool for 2-5 minutes and slice into desired sized slices.
Recipe Notes
* I find fresh mozzarella or buffalo mozzarella (mozzarella di bufala) are the best for pizza. It's this type of cheese that gives the ultimate cheese pull.
** Keep a close eye on the BBQ's temperature gage so that your pizza never burns!
