Pizza Capriciosa

Pizza Capriciosa

One of the classic pizza recipes, super tasty, yet simple - a crucial detail when it comes to pizza is avoiding topping it with everything one could possibly find in the fridge. Instead, make combinations and you will notice that the result can be delicious even when you use fewer, but well chosen ingredients.

We simply devoured Pizza Capriciosa, the mushrooms were the perfect complement to the ham. As for the tomato sauce, I would suggest making it at home (I will explain how at step 1) or, at least, using a good quality ketchup, if you don't have much time.

Ingredients

Mushrooms
6 pieces
medium size
Chicken ham
300 g
Green pitted olives
100 g
Mozzarella
300 g
I used plain yellow cheese
Tomatoes sauce
300 g
I prepared it using canned diced tomatoes + olive oil + garlic + basil + salt

Step by step

Step 1

For the homemade tomato sauce(Marinara Sauce): 

-heat some olive oil in a pan, add 5 crushed cloves of garlic and let it for no more than 10 seconds

-then add the canned tomatoes and let simmer for 15 minutes; season with salt and basil (fresh or dried) and simmer for another 5 minutes.

Next, the mushrooms and the olives. 

Keep in mind that the topping is for 2 pizzas, so make sure you split the quantities evenly.
