the secret lies in the filling

Make the pizza dough: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and crumble the fresh yeast over the dough. Knead the dough well using a mixer (dough hook). Now knead the dough again with your hands. If it is still too soft, add a little flour until it has the right consistency (it should be a smooth dough that doesn’t stick to your hands and is easy to handle). Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes. Prepare the filling: Heat a little olive oil in a pan. Sauté the diced onion and add the spinach. When the spinach has wilted, season well with salt and pepper. Set the pan aside and let it cool slightly. In the meantime, mix together the ricotta, grated or finely diced mozzarella, cream cheese, and an egg. Then stir in the spinach. Divide the pizza dough into two pieces and roll them out. Place on a baking tray (possibly two round pizza trays) and let it rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Spread the filling on the pizzas (only place on one half, as the dough (yes, it is folded in) and top each with four slices of Parma ham. Drizzle the edges with a little olive oil. Fold the dough over in the middle and seal the edges well. Beat an egg and brush it over the pizzas. Bake the pizzas for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, heat the passata and season with basil and oregano. When the pizzas are ready, spread them with the tomato sauce. A fresh salad goes perfectly with the side dish. Enjoy!
