Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven to 220°C (gas mark 7) so it's nice and hot when the pizza goes in.

  2. Chop the onion

    Peel the onion and cut it into small dice on the cutting board.

  3. Soften the onions

    In the skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the diced onion for 3 min without letting it brown.

  4. Roll out the dough

    Take out the pizza dough and spread it right on the lightly oiled baking sheet.

  5. Spread the tomato sauce

    Spread the tomato paste over the whole crust with the back of a spoon, leaving a 1 cm border.

    Tip · To keep the crust from getting too thick, spread it quickly without pressing too hard with your fingers.
  6. Add the onions and ham

    Scatter the softened onions over the sauce, then lay out the ham slices, leaving a little space between them.

  7. Cut the mozzarella

    Drain the mozzarella and cut it into thin slices or cubes with the knife.

    Tip · If the mozzarella is releasing too much water, pat it with a paper towel before cutting it.
  8. Top the pizza

    Spread the mozzarella over the whole pizza, add a little salt and pepper.

  9. Bake the pizza

    Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12 min, until the crust is golden.

  10. Make the salad

    In the bowl, toss the lamb's lettuce with the crushed walnuts, the balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt and some pepper.

And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
