Ingredients

FOR THE DOUGH
500g (1.1 lbs) flour
10g (2 tsp) yeast
1/2 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp olive oil
400 ml (1 1/2 cups + 3 tbsp) water
FOR THE TOPPING
300g (10.5 oz) tomato sauce
300g (10.5 oz) fior di latte mozzarella
small artichokes in oil, to taste
4 slices of prosciutto cotto, cut into small pieces
black olives, to taste
mushrooms in oil, to taste
olive oil, to taste

Steps:

Knead flour and water until you get a soft dough, then knead in first the yeast, and then the salt and the olive oil.
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, then turn it over on a table and knead it for a few minutes.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl which you then need to close with a lid or cover with a plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
The following day, on a floured surface, stretch the dough to the desired shape, taking care that you leave a raised 2 cm (0.8-inch) rim on the outer edge of the dough.
Then, spread the tomato sauce over the dough, and bake it in a 250°C/480°F oven for 10 minutes.
Take the pizza from the oven and top it with chopped mozzarella, ham, mushrooms, and artichokes, then bake for another 10 minutes.
Before serving, drizzle the pizza with olive oil.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or 2 tablespoons cornmeal, to work with dough
1 pizza dough
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
coarse salt
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup basil leaves, shredded (10 leaves)
1/2-3/4 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, very thinly sliced
6 cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 (14 ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/4 lb prosciutto di Parma, cut crosswise, into 2-inch slices
1/2 cup frozen green pea
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425.
Dust the dough with the flour or cornmeal and stretch out to a 12-13" pizza. Place the dough on a pizza tray and pierce it with the tines of a fork. Drizzle with EVOO, season with a little salt, and bake 10 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven and top with the tomato sauce, basil, a thin layer of the mozzarella, the mushrooms, and artichokes.
Bake another 10 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and the crust is crisp. In the last 5 minutes of baking, add the prosciutto, peas, and eggs and another drizzle of EVOO.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh, flavorful vegetables, a good quality mozzarella cheese, and a flavorful tomato sauce.
Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook.
Cook the pizza at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
Use a pizza stone or baking sheet. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and cook the pizza more evenly.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the toppings from sliding off.
