This recipe is easy to prepare and provides a delicious culinary experience, perfect for a cozy evening at home or for a special occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1 pizza base (ready-made or homemade)
- 150 grams Halal Bresaola, thinly sliced
- 200 grams mozzarella, sliced or grated
- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
- A handful of fresh arugula
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, shaved
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: a few drops of balsamic cream
Preparation method:
-
Preheating: Preheat the oven to 220°C. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
-
Preparing the pizza base: Roll out the pizza base on a baking paper. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the base, leaving the edges exposed.
-
Topping: Divide the mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed for an even melt.
-
Baking: Place the pizza (with baking paper and all) on a baking tray or directly on the pizza stone in the oven. Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
-
Add Bresaola: Remove the pizza from the oven and divide the Bresaola slices evenly over the hot pizza. The heat of the pizza will warm the Bresaola slightly and release more flavor.
-
To finish: Add a generous amount of fresh arugula on top of the Bresaola. Then sprinkle the shaved Parmesan cheese over the pizza.
-
Dressing: Lightly drizzle the pizza with extra virgin olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. For an extra touch you can add a few drops of balsamic cream.
-
To serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve immediately for the best taste experience.
