Prosciutto Pizza


INGREDIENTS
100g thinly sliced Prosciutto (Air dried Italian cured ham)
Pizza Base - I love both Pane Toscano par baked pizza base, and Letizza oven baked pizza base
1 Cup of Passata - Traditional Italian Cooking Sauce
1/2 cup of Grated Cheese
A handful of Baby Rocket
A drizzle of Balsamic Vinegar


METHOD

1. Combine Passata and Grated Cheese in a bowl, and spread evenly over the pizza base. If you enjoy crust on your pizza, leave a 1 to 2 cm rim around the pizza base.

I do love to use a pizza stone, to cook my pizza base on.  I place it in the oven when I turn it on. Then it is heated ready for use when the oven reaches 230 degrees Celsius. However, a baking tray is just as great.

2. Place the pizza base in a pre-heated 230 degrees Celsius oven for approximately 5 minutes. The time in which you place the pizza base in the oven, will depend on the brand of pizza base you use. Please check the cooking instructions on your choosen pizza base.

3.  As soon as the pizza base is taken out of the oven, place on a serving plate, top with the thinly sliced prosciutto. Position a handful of baby rocket in the centre of the pizza, and drizzle the baby rocket with a little balsamic vinegar.  Bellissimo!!!
