Ham, Ricotta and Olive Pizza

After a day spent working on our hall and kitchen reno, one does want to chill with a glass of wine and a slice of pizza. And this un-fussy Ham, Ricotta and Olive Pizza is worth the little bit of extra effort! Happy Saturday!

Ingredients (makes one pizza):

2 or 3 Whole Peeled Tomatoes

half a dozen large fresh basil leaves

1 tablespoon Modena Balsamic Vinegar

½ teaspoon Red Chili Flakes

1 tablespoon caster sugar

255 grams/9 ounces Pizza Dough

about 1/3 cup Ricotta

1 slice deli ham

half a dozen cherry tomatoes

1/4 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes

Parmesan

a few green olives

fresh basil leaves, for garnish

In a deep container or bowl, combine Whole Peeled Tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, Modena Balsamic Vinegar and Red Chili Flakes. Process with a stick blender, until just a bit chunky. Stir in caster sugar; set aside.

Preheat oven to 250°C/485°F. Lightly oil a large pizza pan, or line a baking tray with baking paper.

On a lightly floured surface, roughly roll out Pizza Dough (you can also hand-stretch it, if you prefer. Place Pizza Dough onto prepared pizza pan or baking tray.

Generously spread tomato sauce onto Pizza Dough, just leaving out the edges.

Spoon small dollops of Ricotta all over the tomato sauce. Tear Deli ham into bits and scatter all over the pizza. Halve cherry tomatoes, and scatter liberally on top. Sprinkle with Red Chili Flakes. Using the coarse side of a box grater, generously grate Parmesan all over. Scatter olives on top. Place pizza in the hot oven, and bake, at 250°C/485°F, for about 14 to 17 minutes, until crust is beautifully golden and cheese is bubbly.

Remove from the oven, and top with fresh basil leaves.

Serve Ham, Ricotta and Olive Pizza immediately.
