Four Seasons Pizza (Pizza Quattrostagione)
Ingredients
- 1 lb Basic pizza dough
base topping
- 8 oz Cheddar cheese grated
- 2 oz Parmesan cheese grated
tomato topping
- 1 lb Tomatoes blanched, peeled, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 tsp Dried basil
- 6 Anchovy fillets cut into strips
- 24 Black olives halved and stoned (pitted)
artichoke topping
- 6 slices Prosciutto halved
- 6 oz Canned artichoke hearts drained and sliced
shrimp topping
- 6 oz Mozzarella cheese sliced
- 6 oz Shrimps shelled
- 6 oz Canned asparagus tips drained and chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
mushroom and pepperoni topping
- 4 oz Mushrooms sliced and sauteed for 3 minutes in 1 oz butter
- 6 oz Pepperoni sausage cut into 1 cm (1/2 in) lengths
- 1 1/2 Tbs Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to very hot 230°C (Gas Mark 8, 450°F).
- Divide the pizza dough into seven pieces and set one piece aside. Roll out the remaining pieces into a circle about 1/2 cm (1/4 in) thick. Arrange the circles, well spaced apart, on well greased baking sheets. Top each circle with equal amounts of grated Cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
- Roll out the remaining piece of dough to a rectangle and divide into long strips, about 1/2 cm (1/4 in) wide by about 20 cm (8 in) long. Use these strips to divide the pizze into quarters.
- On one quarter of each pizza, place the tomato topping, sprinkling the tomatoes with basil, then scattering anchovies and olives on top. On the second quarter, arrange the prosciutto and artichoke slices and on the third the Mozzarella slices, in overlapping layers. Cover the cheese slices with shrimps and asparagus, and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the mushrooms and pepperoni pieces on the fourth quarter. Dribble over the oil.
- Put the baking sheets into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the cheese has melted.
- Serve at once.
