About
a pizza with simple flavors and a supple, thin crust, that’s cooked in a very hot oven. (This is also the definition we use for our Neapolitan pizza.) The recipe we’ll share below is elegantly simple: a perfect crust, tangy tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and a bright green homemade basil pesto

Steps
- For the dough, first mix flour, sugar, and salt. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and roughly knead with the flour mixture.
- Now add olive oil and work mixture into a smooth dough.
- Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and allow to rise in a warm place for approx. 1 - 2 hours, until it has doubled in size.
- For the sauce, finely dice garlic and onion.
- Next, sauté the onion and garlic in vegetable oil until translucent. Pour in the pureed tomatoes and season with sugar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Leave the sauce to reduce for approx. 5 - 7 min. on a low heat.
- Preheat oven to 180°C/ 355°F. Next, roll out the dough to be approx. 0.5 cm thin and place on a lined baking tray.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly on the dough.
- Now, cut the mozzarella into slices and lay them evenly across the pizza. Then, bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 180°C/355°F for approx. 20 - 25 min. until golden brown.
- As soon as the pizza is finished, cover with arugula leaves and Parma ham. Quarter figs and distribute over the pizza . Enjoy served warm.
