Serves 6
30 MIN
Ingredients
1 fresh pizza dough, homemade or store bought
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 oz. prosciutto, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ red onion, peeled and sliced
Pinch of salt
Hot honey for topping
Pizza Dough:
1 1/3 cups water around 110 degrees F.
2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons salt
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour plus extra for rolling
Cornmeal for dusting
Directions
1
If making homemade pizza dough, stir the water, yeast and sugar together and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the olive oil, salt and flour. Beat for a couple of minutes in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or with a large spoon. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic or a kitchen towel and let rise, in a warm place, for 1 to 1 ½ hours. Punch down the dough to release air bubbles and divide in two. Recipe makes enough dough for 2 pizzas.
2
Pre-heat the oven to 500 degrees.
3
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 11”. Sprinkle some cornmeal on a parchment lined baking sheet and place the dough on it.
4
Brush with olive oil and spread on the ricotta cheese. Sprinkle on the mozzarella, slices of red onion and slices of prosciutto. Sprinkle with salt and place in the oven.
5
Lower the oven temperature to 450 degrees and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the dough is a light golden brown. Drizzle with hot honey and serve with a Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, or Cabernet Sauvignon wine.
