The simple things in life are often the most beautiful. Do you think so too? Great! Because the Pizza Prosciutto here is super simple: Crispy airy dough, flavorful tomato sauce, a bunch of mozzarella, and 2 handfuls of the finest Italian raw ham. A pizza doesn't need more to bring tears of joy! Whether you call it ham pizza or like the Italians Pizza Prosciutto – it's always the same and it always tastes incredibly good. Because I'm into it, I also threw in some garlic. Just always works.
MY TIP:
Do yourself a favor and leave the packaged cheap cooking ham on the shelf. Good Prosciutto really makes a huge difference in this pizza classic.

Preparation in 5 steps
Preheat pizza oven, gas grill, or conventional oven with a pizza stone to maximum heat.
Shape pizza dough into a round shape about 1 cm thick using your hands.
Generously sprinkle the pizza peel with flour and place the pizza dough on it. Thinly spread the dough with tomato sauce from the inside out in circular motions. Distribute garlic on the sauce. Roughly tear the mozzarella and spread it evenly on the tomato sauce. Top with prosciutto.
Bake the pizza on the pizza stone in the pizza oven for 2-3 minutes, in the gas grill for about 5 minutes, or in the oven for about 10 minutes until the dough is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Wash basil, shake dry, and pluck leaves from stems. Top pizza with basil.
