Pizza Ingredients

Method

Pizza Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to its highest setting, typically around 250°C (482°F). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your preferred thickness.

  2. 2

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Basil

    Tear the fior di latte mozzarella into pieces and distribute them evenly over the sauce. Scatter fresh basil leaves on top.

  4. 4

    Bake the Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to a preheated pizza stone or baking tray and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, and top with prosciutto, arugula, and shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately, uncut if desired.
