8 pitted black olives cut into equal halves
4 anchovy fillets, drained and split into equal halves
½ cup of basil leaves, dipped in oil
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Method:
- Warm the flour in the oven at low settings for 10 minutes.
- Remove the flour and add salt, yeast and sugar in a bowl. Add warm water and olive oil and knead thoroughly. Make the flour into a soft dough. Transfer the soft dough onto a flat surface. Knead for another 2 minutes and cover it with an upside down bowl. It will take about an hour at room temperature to double its volume.
- Preheat the oven to 230 degrees with the pizza stone or the baking sheet within the oven.
- Add cornmeal on the sheet that acts as a non-stick agent.
- Knead the dough into a large circle roll of about 10 inches or 12 inches. Raise the edges a bit to have a thin crust for the pizza.
- Spread the sun dried tomato paste on top of the pizza dough. Place the round on the baking sheet.
- Add slices of Parma ham, cubes of Mozzarella, tomatoes, mushrooms, capers and olives all over the surface. Decorate the final seasoning with basil leaves and anchovy fillet in a criss-cross design. Drizzle the olive oil all along the surface.
- Bake the pizza for 12 minutes in the oven at 230 degrees. When done, the crust of the pizza turns into golden brown color.
- Remove the pizza and decorate it with basil leaves. Serve hot.
