Ham and mushroom pizza

Ingredients

For the dough

• 500 g white flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 250 ml water
• 2 g fresh yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 20 ml oil

For the topping

• 200 g homemade pizza sauce
• 5-6 slices ham
• 5-6 button mushrooms
• 50 g black olives
• 1 medium red onion (150 g)
• 1 medium red bell pepper (150 g)
• 1 small hot pepper (optional)
• 300 g mozzarella

To serve

• 150 g homemade ketchup

Preparation

1. Warm 100 ml of water. Add the sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour and the crumbled yeast. Stir until dissolved, then leave for 10 minutes, until foamy. 2. Sift the remaining flour and sprinkle in the salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and the remaining 150 ml of water, a little at a time. Add the oil and knead for 8 minutes, until you have an elastic dough that doesn’t stick to your hands. 3. Cover the dough and leave it to rise for at least 30 minutes. Divide it in two and roll each half into a 30 cm circle. 4. Cut the ham into small pieces, slice the mushrooms and cut the onion into thin strips. Dice the bell pepper; slice the hot pepper if using. Grate the mozzarella using the large holes of the grater. 5. Place the pizza bases on round 30 cm trays. Divide the sauce, ham, mushrooms, olives, onion and bell pepper between them. Sprinkle the mozzarella on top and add the hot pepper, if using. 6. Bake each pizza in a preheated oven at 200°C for 15-20 minutes, until browned on top. Serve with homemade ketchup.
