Pizza Bianca with Parma Ham, Rocket and Mozzarella

Hey guys, 

Here is a savoury recipe to change things up a little bit. As you can tell from the title we are making pizza! I love pizza but this is a healtherish recipe. This recipe is good for all those that don't like tomato sauce. 

Ingredients:

500g of strong white flour

Pinch of salt

7g sachet of dried yeast

350ml of warm water

60ml of olive oil 

Semolina, for sprinkling

Topping: 

200g of mozzarella

Freshly ground black pepper

4 slices of Parma ham 

Handful of wild rocket

Method: 

1. Preheat the oven to 240C/475F/gas 9. Very lightly grease a baking tray and place in the preheated oven.

2. Sift the strong white flour in a bowl, add a pinch of salt and the dried yeast. Make a well in the centre of the flour and slowly add in the warm water. Mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Then add the olive oil and mix until it forms a soft dough. 

3. Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead the dough, using the heel of your hand and folding the dough over. Do this for 10 mins. Place the dough into a bowl and cover with cling film for 30-40 minutes or until it has doubled in size. 

4. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead a little bit. Then using a rolling pin, roll out the dough as thin as you can. Sprinkle the hot baking tray with semolina and then pop the dough onto it. 

5. Top the pizza with mozzarella and black pepper and bake for 10 mins or until the crust is crispy. Drape the Parma ham over the pizza and scatter the wild rocket over that. Season and then serve. 

I hope that you enjoy this recipe and don't forget to tweet me and use the hashtag #bakingbuddiessummer.
