Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough of choice (about 10-12 inches in diameter, options include fresh pizza dough, lavash bread, cauliflower crust, etc.)
- 3 tbsp Besto (for spreading across the pizza)
- 2 medium Tomatoes (sliced thinly, about 1/8-inch thick)
- 8 oz Fresh Mozzarella (sliced or shredded)
- 3 oz Prosciutto (about 6-8 thin slices)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Basil Leaves (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (for garnish)
Directions:
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Prepare the dough: Roll out your dough of choice to about 10-12 inches in diameter. Place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a baking stone.
-
Spread the Besto: Using a spoon or brush, spread 3 tablespoons of Besto evenly across the entire surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
-
Top with tomatoes: Thinly slice the 2 tomatoes (about 1/8-inch thick) and layer them evenly over the Besto-covered dough.
-
Add mozzarella: Evenly distribute 8 ounces of fresh mozzarella slices or shredded mozzarella over the tomatoes.
-
Add prosciutto: Tear 3 ounces of prosciutto into smaller pieces and arrange them on top of the mozzarella.
-
Bake the pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For an extra crispy finish, you can broil the pizza for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
-
Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Garnish with 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.
-
Enjoy: Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious, homemade pizza!
