Prosciutto, Mozzarella and Cherry Tomato Pizza

Instructions

• 1To make the dough, put the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, mix to combine. Add the oil and water and mix on medium-low speed for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. (Alternatively, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add oil and water and mix until the dough comes together, add an extra tablespoon of water if necessary. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.)
• 2Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size.
• 3Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and punch down to remove the excess air. Knead the dough into a smooth ball. Divide into four, 6 ½ oz pieces.
• 4To make the topping, combine the oil and garlic in a small bowl.
• 5Tear each buffalo mozzarella into 5-6 pieces.
• 6To make the pizza, turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position and PREHEAT the pizza oven for 15 minutes.
• 7Roll out each piece of pizza dough to form a 9 ½-inch round and place each on a 11 ¾-inch square piece of parchment paper.
• 8Prick the crusts with a fork or pizza docker.
• 9Spread 1 tablespoon of the garlic oil over each pizza crust. Divide the Parmesan evenly among the crusts.
• 10Select the THIN crust setting.
• 11Transfer one of the pizzas (still on the parchment paper) to the hot pizza stone and close the lid. Cook for 2 minutes.
• 12Open the lid and quickly slide the parchment paper out carefully. Close the lid and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until browned. Monitor the cooking progress through the viewing window. Topping should be cooked and golden and crust crisp and brown.
• 13Open the lid carefully with oven mitt and transfer the pizza to a cutting board.
• 14Top with mozzarella, prosciutto and cherry tomatoes.
• 15Repeat with the remaining pizzas.
• 16Drizzle with extra olive oil, season with salt and pepper and garnish with basil leaves. Slice and serve.
