Italian · Main course · 35 min total

A classic Italian pizza topped with ham, mushrooms, artichokes, olives, and mozzarella, finished with a fresh basil and oregano sprinkle.

Ingredients

• 1 ball pizza dough (about 250g)
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 slices cooked ham, torn into pieces
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
• 1/4 cup pitted black olives, sliced
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish
• Dried oregano for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 250°C (500°F) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
2. On a floured surface, stretch the pizza dough into two 10-inch rounds.
3. Spread tomato sauce evenly over each round, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
4. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
5. Distribute ham, mushrooms, artichokes, and olives evenly over the pizzas.
6. Drizzle each pizza with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
7. Transfer pizzas to the hot stone or baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
8. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil and a sprinkle of oregano. Serve hot.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, use a pizza stone or preheat a heavy baking sheet.
• If using fresh mozzarella, slice and pat dry before using to avoid excess moisture.
• Leftover pizza can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in a hot oven.
