Mushroom Ham Mozzarella Pizza

To prepare a delicious pizza, start by making the dough. You can use store-bought pizza dough or make it at home from flour, water, yeast, salt, and a little olive oil. If you choose to make it at home, mix the ingredients and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. Let it rise in a warm place for an hour, covered with a damp towel.

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface until it reaches the desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Now it’s time to prepare the sauce. You can use a simple tomato sauce made from crushed tomatoes, garlic, oregano, and a little olive oil, or a pre-made pizza sauce if you want to save time. Spread the sauce evenly over the pizza dough, making sure it reaches the edges.

Next, add slices of fresh mozzarella that will melt beautifully and provide a creamy taste. Then, add fresh basil leaves that will add a fresh and intense flavor. Continue with slices of ham, chopped mushrooms, diced olives, tomatoes, and bell peppers. These ingredients will provide a mix of textures and flavors, turning the pizza into a delicacy.

Once you have finished adding the toppings, preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Make sure it is well heated before putting in the pizza to achieve a crispy crust. Place the pizza in the oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes, but check occasionally, as every oven is different.

When the pizza is ready, take it out of the oven and sprinkle some grated cheese on top, which will melt quickly. Add salt and pepper to taste, then let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve it warm, alongside a green salad or a glass of white wine. This homemade pizza will surely be a hit, and every bite will be full of flavor. Enjoy your meal!
