To make this delicious prosciutto and spinach pizza, you will need:

• 1 pre-made pizza dough (about 12 ounces)
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Prosciutto and Spinach Pizza

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious pizza:

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
5. Layer the prosciutto slices evenly across the cheese.
6. Add the fresh spinach leaves on top of the prosciutto, followed by the torn basil leaves.
7. Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using.
8. Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your oven is fully preheated for a crispy crust.
• Use a pizza stone for a more authentic pizzeria-style crust.
• Don’t overload the pizza with toppings to avoid a soggy base.
• If you prefer a golden crust, brush the edges with a little olive oil before baking.

Easy Variations

Feel free to get creative with your pizza! Here are a few variations you might enjoy:

• Swap the prosciutto for cooked chicken or turkey.
• Add sliced mushrooms or bell peppers for extra veggies.
• Use goat cheese or feta along with mozzarella for a tangy twist.
• Try different herbs like oregano or thyme for added flavor.

What to Serve With It

Pair your prosciutto and spinach pizza with these delicious options:

• A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Garlic bread or breadsticks for a classic side.
• Roasted vegetables for a healthy complement.
• A glass of red or white wine to elevate the meal.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also use a microwave, but the crust may become soft.
