Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, olive oil, and sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring to form a dough.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour.
Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. While you wait, you can prepare the toppings.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to get it nice and hot.
Prepare the Toppings:
Slice the mozzarella cheese and red onion thinly.
Chop the fresh basil and set it aside.
Shape the Dough:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a circular shape (about 10-12 inches in diameter).
Transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Assemble the Pizza:
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Add the prosciutto and red onion slices on top of the cheese.
Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano.
Bake the Pizza:
Transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh basil.
Slice and serve hot. Enjoy!
