About this dish

Four classic toppings, each kept to its own quarter, so a single pizza reads as four distinct dishes rather than one crowded one: artichokes, mushrooms, ham and olives, named for the seasons they represent.

Method

1

Take the pizza dough out of the refrigerator, divide it into two 250 g balls, and leave them, covered, at room temperature for 20 minutes to relax.

Approx. 20 minutes
2

Crush the drained San Marzano tomatoes by hand into a bowl. Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano and salt. Set the sauce aside uncooked.

Approx. 5 minutes
3

Place a pizza stone on the top oven rack and preheat the oven to its maximum temperature, at least 260°C, for 30 minutes.

Approx. 30 minutes
4

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the mushrooms for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Set aside to cool slightly.

Approx. 4 minutes
5

On a semolina-dusted pizza peel, stretch one dough ball into a 30cm round, keeping a slightly thicker rim.

Approx. 4 minutes
6

Spread a thin layer of sauce over the base, leaving a 2cm border. Scatter over half the mozzarella, then arrange the artichokes, cooked mushrooms, torn ham and olives in four separate quarters.

Approx. 4 minutes
7

Slide the pizza onto the hot stone and bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the crust is deeply golden with char spots and the cheese is bubbling.

Approx. 11 minutes
8

Remove from the oven, scatter with basil, and rest for 2 minutes before slicing. Repeat with the second dough ball and the remaining toppings.

Approx. 2 minutes
