Method

1. Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl, then add 80 ml warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

2. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 40 minutes, until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 240 °C (465 °F) 15 minutes before baking.

3. Thin tomato⁵ sauce with 1 tbsp water. Roll the dough into a 0.5 cm-thick circle and transfer to a baking sheet.

4. Spread the sauce over the dough, leaving the edges bare. Cut ham³ into strips and arrange on top, then layer with sliced or shredded mozzarella⁴.

5. Bake at 240 °C (465 °F) for 10–12 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.

6. Sprinkle with fresh⁷ basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
