Topped with prosciutto, asparagus and green onions, this authentic Italian-style pizza can be baked in a wood-fired oven or in a regular oven at home. www.ciborustico.com Cibo Rustico Pizzeria
Ingredients:
- All-purpose flour for dusting
- 9 ounces pizza dough, shaped into a ball
- 6 to 8 thin asparagus spears
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 3 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
- Pinch of sea salt
- Pinch of coarsely ground pepper
Directions:
Place a pizza stone in an oven and preheat to 500°F. On a floured work surface, stretch and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Top evenly with the asparagus, green onions and prosciutto. Drizzle the olive oil over the entire surface. Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone and bake until crisp and golden, about 12 minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with the cheese, salt and pepper. Enjoy while hot with a bottle of D'Argenzio's Pinot Noir.
