Artichoke Prosciutto And Olive Pizza

Homemade pizza crust with fresh tomato sauce melted mozzarella cheese with Prosciutto, artichoke hearts, sliced truffle mushrooms, and olive tapenade. This is how a pizza should be!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (17.6-ounce) DeLallo Pizza Dough Kit
• 1 (28-ounce) can DeLallo Imported San Marzano Tomatoes
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 6 slices prosciutto
• 2 tablespoons truffled mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons DeLallo Italian Olive Tapenade
• ½ (12-ounce) jar of DeLallo Grilled Artichokes Hearts
• 4 cups mozzarella cheese, grated

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine flour mix and yeast packet in a large mixing bowl with 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water. Stir with a fork until dough begins to form.
2. Knead by hand for 3 minutes, or until dough is soft and smooth. Transfer to a clean, lightly oiled bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. (After this step, you can refrigerate for use within 1-3 days.)
3. While the dough is rising, add the tomatoes to a blender or food processor along with the oregano, salt and pepper. Blend on high for about 40 seconds. Pour the sauce into a bowl and set aside.
4. Preheat the oven to its highest setting (around 550 degrees) and place a baking pan or pizza stone in the oven as it preheats.
5. Once the dough has risen, gently knead it into a ball. Cut in half for two 8-10 inch pizzas or into 4 pieces for about 4 six inch pizzas.
6. Dust your work surface with flour and roll out the dough using a rolling pin into a round circle.
7. Take your pizza stone or pan out of the oven an dust it lightly with some flour.
8. Carefully transfer your dough circle to the stone/pan.
9. Working quickly, spoon about 1/2 cup of the sauce onto the pizza and spread it out to the sides.
10. Add about 4-6 slices prosciutto followed by the truffle mushrooms, tapenade and artichoke hearts.
11. Sprinkle 1/2 cup or more if you prefer grated mozzarella on top and place back into the oven.
12. Bake for about 10-12 minutes and the crust has a nice golden color and the cheese has melted well.
13. Slice and serve straight away.
