Method

1. Preparation: mix flour, yeast, sugar and salt with 80 ml warm water and vegetable oil; knead the dough and leave to proof for 40 minutes.

2. Preparation: roll the dough out to a thickness of about 0.5 cm on a baking sheet; evenly spread the dough across the surface and lightly brush it with tomato⁵ paste.

3. Preparation: lay ham³ on the dough in an even layer, distributing the pieces across the whole area.

4. Preparation: spread mozzarella⁴ evenly over the ham³ so every area is covered with cheese.

5. Preparation: sprinkle fresh⁷ basil or greens to taste; if desired, you can lightly pepper.

6. Bake: preheat the oven to 240°C; bake at high heat for 10–12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.

7. Serve: remove from the oven, cut into portions and serve hot with greens.

8. Make-ahead tip: the dough can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to a day; if desired, replace the ham³ with another ready-made meat or vegetable layer during preparation.
