Instructions
Set oven to 220˚C fan / 220˚C / 392˚F convection / 428˚F.
Lightly grease two baking sheets with a little olive oil.
Once rested, divide your dough into 2 equal sized pieces.
With a lightly floured rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of the dough to ½cm (¼ inch) thick. Place on your oiled baking sheet.
Spoon over half the tomato sauce and spread out in an even layer.
Sprinkle over half the mozzarella/bocconcini.
Top one quarter of the pizza with half the black olives, another quarter with half the sliced artichoke hearts, another quarter with half the mushrooms and the final quarter with half the prosciutto.
Repeat this with the other half of the pizza dough, adding the pizza sauce and the remainder of the ingredients to the pizza quarters.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve.
Notes
Homemade pizza dough - you can use a bought pizza dough or two bought large pizza bases, or if you are short of time and the need for great homemade pizza from scratch arrises, then use this instant no-yeast pizza dough.Homemade pizza sauce - you can also use 2-3 tablespoons of passata, or bought pizza sauce.Mozzarella - you can use a ball of mozzarella, and tear it into pieces, or bocconcini, as I've used here.Black olives - here I have used kalamata olives, but you can use any black olives, or green olives.Prosciutto - this Italian dry cured ham can be substituted with any ham you prefer.Mushrooms - brown or white button mushrooms are perfect for this pizza.Artichoke hearts - I use from a jar, but you can also use tinned artichokes.Vegetarian Four Seasons pizza: Use sliced tomatoes, roast pumpkin or vegetables instead of the prosciutto.
