Craft an Italian-inspired outdoor dining experience.
Ingredients:
  • 125ml oil
  • 500ml pizza sauce
  • 150g olive
  • 10 slices prosciutto, torn
  • 2 x 150g fior di latte cheese (see note), sliced 1cm thick
  • 250g vine-ripened cherry tomatoes
  • 250.00 ml basil leaves
  • 7g sachet dry active yeast
  • 10.00 gm caster sugar
  • 500g strong (baker's) flour (see note)
Instructions:
  • Prepare the yeast mixture by stirring together yeast, sugar, and 300ml warm water in a bowl. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. In a large bowl, combine flour with 2 teaspoons of salt. Add the yeast mixture to the flour and mix by hand until just combined. Knead the dough in a mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes or by hand until smooth. Divide the dough into 6 balls, place them on a lightly oiled tray spaced apart, cover with a clean tea towel, and let them rise in a warm spot for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C (or 400°C for woodfired). Roll out each ball on a floured surface into a 24cm round shape. Brush with 1 tablespoon of garlic oil, spread a thin layer of sauce, leaving a 2cm border. Top with olives, prosciutto, cheese, and tomatoes.
  • Bake in the oven or wood-fired oven until cheese is melted and bases are crisp and lightly golden, about 7-10 minutes in a regular oven or 2-3 minutes in a wood-fired oven.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and finish with a flavorful garlic-infused oil. Slice the dish and serve promptly.
