Ham & artichoke pizza

Step by Step

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 240°C, gas mark 9, and put 2 large baking sheets in the oven to heat up. Mix the passata, garlic and oil in a bowl and season; set aside. Halve the artichokes, then cut the mozzarella into 1.5cm cubes.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball of pizza dough to a rough circle about 30cm in diameter. Put each on a sheet of baking parchment. Spread each with 1⁄2 of the passata, then scatter over the mozzarella and artichokes evenly. Roughly tear the ham and arrange over the top. Scatter with the Parmigiano Reggiano and 1⁄2 the basil leaves, and grind over a little black pepper.

Step 3

Transfer the pizzas, on the parchment, onto the hot baking sheets (or cook in 2 batches if necessary) and bake for 8-10 minutes until puffed up and golden. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before scattering with the remaining basil leaves, then serve.
