Directions
  1. 1

  2. 2
    Prepare your whole wheat pizza dough according to package or recipe instructions through the shaping step.
  3. 3
    Lightly oil a 12-inch pizza pan with olive oil and sprinkle with cornmeal if desired to prevent sticking.

  5. 5
    Brush the surface of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  6. 6
    Scatter 4 oz of herbed chevre over the dough, leaving a 3/4-inch border around the edge.

    Dice 1 ripe tomato (seeded) and thinly slice 1/4 cup of red onion; distribute evenly over the cheese.

    Tear 1 oz of thinly sliced prosciutto into small pieces and scatter over the toppings.

Note

Storage: Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain crust crispiness.

Variations: For a lighter version, use plain chevre and add fresh herbs directly to the pizza. You can also substitute fontina with mozzarella for a milder cheese flavor.

Tips: Ensure your oven is fully preheated for the best crust texture. If using fresh dough, let it come to room temperature before shaping to make it easier to stretch.

Safety: Handle prosciutto and fresh cheeses with clean hands and utensils to prevent contamination.
