Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Dissolve the yeast

    In the bowl, mix the yeast with 10 cl of lukewarm water and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10 min until foamy.

  2. Knead the dough

    Add the flour to the yeast and knead by hand for 10 min until you get a smooth, stretchy ball. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 h in a warm spot.

  3. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 220 °C (gas mark 7). If you have a pizza stone, put it in to heat up.

    Tip · If you don't have a pizza stone, use a regular pizza pan and preheat it upside down on the oven rack.

  4. Roll out the dough

    On a floured surface, roll the dough out with the rolling pin into a circle about 25 cm across.

  5. Cook the mushrooms

    Heat a drizzle of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook them for 5 min without letting them brown.

  6. Top the pizza

    Spread the crushed tomatoes over the dough, then add the drained mushrooms, the diced ham and half of the cheese. Scatter the rest of the cheese on top.

    Tip · To keep the dough from sticking, roll it out right on parchment paper before topping it.

  7. Bake the pizza

    Bake the pizza on the hot pan or stone for 12 to 15 min, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  8. Slice and serve

    Take the pizza out of the oven, let it cool for 2 min, then cut it into slices with the knife.
