Prosciutto and Rocket Pizza
Ingredients
450g pizza dough, at room temperature, divided into 2 equal pieces
2tbsp olive oil
½ cup tomato sauce
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
8 thin slices prosciutto
A few big handfuls of rocket
Method
If you have a pizza stone, place it on a rack in the middle of the oven. Heat the oven to 280°C (or maximum oven temperature) for at least 30 minutes.
If transferring the pizza to a stone in the oven, assemble on a well- floured peel or cutting board.
Otherwise, assemble on the surface you will be cooking on (parchment paper, baking sheet, etc.).
Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll or stretch it into a 25-30cm circle. Brush the edges of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Spread half of the tomato sauce over the rest of the dough. Sprinkle with about a ¼ of the cheese.
Lay 4 prosciutto slices so they are evenly covering the dough. Sprinkle with another ¼ of the cheese.
Bake the pizza until edges are lightly browned and cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, about 6 minutes at 280°C.
Remove from oven to a cutting board, scatter half of the rocket over the top, and cut and serve immediately.
Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.
