Pizza with ham, mushrooms and cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pizza with ham, mushrooms and cheese? First, prepare the necessary ingredients for the base. Sift the flour into a deep bowl. Thanks to this, it will be saturated with oxygen, and the finished dough will turn out more tender. Add salt, sugar, dry instant yeast and olive oil. If you have active or fresh yeast, then you must first dilute it in warm water so that it is activated.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour warm water into the flour (it should be warm, but not scalding, otherwise the yeast will die) and knead the dough. It’s convenient to work with a spoon first, and then knead with your hands. If the dough sticks too much to your hands, then add a little more flour; if, on the contrary, it is too stiff, then pour in a little more warm water. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Form the dough into a ball, cover the bowl with a towel to allow the dough to breathe, and leave in a warm place for half an hour until the dough rises. I always do this: I heat a glass of water in the microwave for one minute. I remove it and leave the covered bowl of dough inside the microwave. This scheme has never let me down yet.

4. STEP 4

   

   After half an hour, the dough will increase by about 1.5 times and air bubbles inside will be clearly visible. Turn on the oven at 200 degrees.

5. STEP 5

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for the filling. Mushrooms can be used either fresh or frozen. If you have fresh champignons, you first need to wash them and then chop them into thin slices. Cut the ham into thin strips. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Roll out the dough into a thin circle on a floured surface. The thickness of the base at this stage should not be more than three millimeters if you like thin crust pizza. I roll out the base directly onto the baking sheet. This will make it convenient to transfer the pizza to a baking sheet so as not to spill the toppings.

7. STEP 7

   

   Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the base, leaving about half a centimeter from the edge.

8. STEP 8

   

   Sprinkle the base with a third of the grated cheese and place the ham on top.

9. STEP 9

   

   Spread the mushrooms over the ham.

10. STEP 10

    

    Peel the onion and chop into very thin half rings. This is necessary so that the onions have time to cook while the pizza is baking.

11. STEP 11

    

    Top the pizza with the remaining cheese. Bake the pizza in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 20 minutes. Depending on the individual characteristics of the ovens, the cooking time may vary. But you should focus on cheese. It should melt and brown. Bon appetit!

The most delicious pizza! If you don't have ham, you can use smoked sausage. The aroma is stunning!

I love it when pizza has thick dough, so when I decided to make pizza with ham, mushrooms and cheese, I immediately doubled the amount of ingredients for the dough; it’s good that this can be done right on the website. The dough turned out soft and elastic. Instead of olive oil, I used regular sunflower oil. It took me about an hour for the dough to rise. I changed the filling a little, adding sliced ​​smoked ham, olives and tomato to the pizza. The sauce was made from mayonnaise mixed with homemade tomato. All this was well sprinkled with cheese grated on a fine grater. It turned out very tasty! The dough is fluffy, soft and juicy sauce... In general, I liked everything about this pizza! Thanks for the recipe!
