Instructions
- The recipe is designed for a 28-hole pizza. A full meal for 4 - 6 people, a starter for up to 12 people.
- Make a smooth, slightly shiny dough from the ingredients for the dough. Knead for at least 12 minutes. Let rise in a warm place for 2 hours, knead and leave to mature in airtight packaging in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- Bring the packed dough to room temperature, roll out to 30 cm, let rise for 30 minutes, perforate with a fork and prebake on one side in a 32-hole pan or in the oven.
- In the meantime, wash 2 of the smaller tomatoes, remove the stems, peel and quarter them, remove the green stems and the grains. Cut the quarters into cubes about 3mm in size. Wash the 3rd tomato, cap the top and cut across into 5 slices. Wash the small, green chilies, cut them crosswise into thin rings, leave the grains and discard the stems. Mix the chillies with the oregano with the pesto rosso.
- Brush the pre-baked side with the pesto rosso. First top with the finely chopped tomatoes, then with the ham and sprinkle the mozzarella over everything. Gently squeeze the brine from the pickled peppers and cut into pieces approx. 3cm long. Salt and pepper the remaining 5 tomato slices and place on top of the cheese. Complete the pizza with the peppers and olives. Finally, sprinkle with the oregano and drizzle the olive oil over the pizza. Bake at 220 degrees bottom heat on medium heat until the cheese has melted.
- Take out of the oven, cut into 12 pieces on a cutting board, garnish with basil, serve hot and enjoy as finger food.
