Ingredients

Mushroom and prosciutto pizza
  • 1 quantity basic pizza dough
  • 3/4 cup (75g) grated mozzarella
  • 250 gram button mushrooms, sliced
  • 100 gram prosciutto, torn into pieces
  • 8 oregano leaves
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
Pizzaiola sauce
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • 500 gram ripe tomatoes, peeled, chopped

Method

Mushroom and prosciutto pizza
  • 1
    Make the pizzaiola sauce, heat olive oil and garlic in a saucepan for 2 minutes on low. Add chopped tomato and basil or oregano, and season to taste. Increase heat to medium. Cook for 15-20 minutes until most of liquid evaporates and tomato is soft and reduced to a pulp.

    Preheat oven to 220°C. Grease two pizza pans or baking trays. Halve dough and pat out each piece to a 30cm round. Place dough on prepared pans or trays and gently press, pat and push dough outwards until it reaches the edges, forming a thick rim on the outside.

    Spread sauce over pizza bases, leaving a 1cm border around edges. Top with grated mozzarella. Scatter mushrooms and prosciutto over pizzas. Sprinkle with oregano leaves and drizzle with olive oil. Bake pizzas for 20 minutes, swapping trays halfway through cooking to ensure pizzas cook evenly, until cheese is bubbling and edges of crust are golden brown. Serve.
