Ingredients
Printable π¨ shopping π list & π©βπ³ method for this recipe
- 1 portion spicy tomato pizza topping (use a jar of shop-bought pizza sauce if you're stuck for time)
- 1 portion pizza dough - makes 2 pizzas
- 200 g (7 oz) mozzarella cheese (drained)
- 100 g good quality sliced meat (eg: prosciutto, salami, speck). I used 50g (2 oz) thinly sliced Home smoked bacon
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 fresh free range eggs
- 1 tablespoon capers
- Fine yellow cornmeal for dusting
Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 220Β° c (425Β° F - Gas 7)
Method
- Make 1 pizza per person
- Dust the work surface with Fine yellow cornmeal
- Roll or stretch the pizza bases out. I'm not good at getting them into neat circles, as long as there is enough room for the topping, I'm happy.
- Prick the pizza all over with a fork. This prevents it puffing up too much and burning while it is cooking.
- Make the pizza up on a lightly greased, or lightly floured baking tray. It's very hard to transfer once made up, without a pizza peel.
- Divide the ingredients in two:
- Spread the tomato sauce over one the pizza
- Break the mozzarella into chunks and sprinkle over the sauce, followed by the capers, the sliced meat and half of the Parmesan cheese
- Break the egg in the centre of the pizza
- Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes - keeping your eye on it!

Chef's tip
For an even better, more authentic pizza, use a pizza stone.
