Instructions

Mise En Place
Gather measured ingredients, a baking sheet, parchment, bowl, spoon, knife, board, grater and oven gloves before touching the dough. · 5 min
What to look for: All toppings are measured and within reach.
Heat Oven
Heat the oven to 250°C / 482°F with the baking sheet inside so the base meets a very hot surface. · 15 min
What to look for: The oven is fully preheated and the sheet is hot.
Mix Tomato Sauce
Crush the tomato in a bowl, then mix in grated garlic, olive oil, salt and black pepper for a simple uncooked sauce. · 3 min
What to look for: The sauce looks loose, bright red and lightly glossy.
Stretch Dough
Stretch the pizza dough on parchment into a thin round, leaving a slightly thicker rim to hold the topping. · 5 min
What to look for: The center is thin and the rim is raised.
Top Pizza
Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, then scatter mozzarella, cooked ham, mushroom, artichoke and olive evenly across the top. · 5 min
What to look for: The toppings are mingled rather than divided into sections.
Bake Pizza
Bake the pizza on the hot sheet until the rim is puffed, the cheese bubbles and the mushrooms look tender, about 12 minutes. · 12 min
What to look for: The crust is browned in spots and the mozzarella is bubbling.
Serve Hot
Serve the Pizza Capricciosa hot, cutting it into 8 slices so every piece gets ham, mushroom, artichoke and olive. · 2 min
What to look for: Each slice has a balanced mix of topping.
