If you want to surprise your family or friends with a tasty pizza inspired by Jamie Oliver's style, you've found the ideal recipe. This pizza is not only quick to prepare but also full of flavors, giving you a restaurant-worthy result.

Ingredients:

For the dough:

- 250 g wheat flour (ideally type 00 flour, for a finer texture)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 150 ml warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the topping:

- 200 g tomato sauce (freshly made or high-quality canned)
- 150 g mozzarella (preferably fresh, sliced)
- 100 g prosciutto or ham (you can also use a vegetarian option with vegetables)
- Fresh basil leaves
- Balsamic vinegar (for a touch of acidity)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients well with a fork. Then add warm water and olive oil. Stir with a spoon until the dough starts to form. Then knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes elastic and smooth. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220°C (or 200°C with fan). If you have a baking stone, place it in the oven to create a crispy base for your pizza.

3. Shape the pizza: After the dough has rested, divide it into four pieces and roll each piece into a round shape, about 5 mm thick. You can use a rolling pin or simply your hands, making sure the edges are slightly thicker to hold the toppings.

4. Add the sauce and toppings: Place each pizza on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or directly on the baking stone. Spread a generous layer of tomato sauce on each dough, leaving a free edge. Then add the slices of mozzarella, prosciutto, and if desired, some thin slices of vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Bake the pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and starts to brown.

6. Serve: After taking the pizza out of the oven, add the fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for a flavor contrast. Cut the pizza into slices and serve immediately, alongside a simple green salad for a complete lunch or dinner.

Practical tips:

- You can experiment with various toppings: olives, artichokes, chili peppers, or even pineapple, depending on your preferences.
- If you want a healthier option, use whole wheat or oat flour for the dough.
- Don't be afraid to use spices like oregano or garlic to enhance the flavors.

This Jamie-style pizza recipe is not only quick and simple but also an excellent way to express your creativity in the kitchen. Enjoy every bite of this delicacy and cherish the moments spent with loved ones!

1. Dissolve the yeast and honey in half of the warm water. 2. In a large bowl, place the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast and honey mixture. Mix until the flour is incorporated. Add the remaining warm water to the center and knead until the dough is well combined. 3. Knead for 5 minutes, then score the dough and let it rise until it doubles in volume (40 minutes to an hour and a half). 4. When it has doubled in volume, knead again for 1 minute, expelling all the air, and let it rise again until it doubles in volume. 5. Dust the table with flour and roll out the dough to a thickness of 3-4 cm. From 1 kg of flour, I made 3 pizza trays, so divide it into 3 equal parts. 6. I brushed the dough with a tomato sauce made from fresh tomatoes, a little ketchup, olive oil, and basil. I sautéed them a bit until the tomatoes softened. When ready, I spread the sauce over the dough. 7. I added a little mozzarella and then topped it with ham, bell peppers, and mushrooms. On top, I added more mozzarella. Place it in the preheated oven and bake at 240 degrees/setting 9 for 10-20 minutes. I left it for 20, as the dough was not browned. Enjoy your meal!
