Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 500ðF (260ðC).
  2. Lightly oil a 12-inch pizza pan with olive oil; sprinkle with cornmeal if desired to prevent sticking.
  3. Prepare whole wheat pizza dough according to package or recipe instructions, shaping it into a 12-inch round.
  4. Place the shaped dough into the prepared pan and brush the surface with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  5. Scatter 4 oz of herbed chevre evenly over the dough, leaving a 3/4-inch border around the edge.
  6. Distribute 3/4 cup of diced ripe tomato and 1/4 cup of thinly sliced red onion over the cheese.
  7. Arrange 1 oz of thinly sliced prosciutto over the vegetables and cheese.
  8. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon fresh chopped marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary, coarse salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Fontina cheese over the herbs and toppings.
  10. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the reserved herbed oil from the chevre container over the entire pizza.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 15 to 18 minutes.
  12. Remove from oven and serve immediately while hot and crisp.

Note

Use high-quality prosciutto for the best flavor impact.

If using homemade dough, ensure it is fully rested before shaping to prevent shrinking.

For a crispier crust, place the pizza on a preheated pizza stone or baking steel.

Serve immediately to maintain the texture of the crust and the freshness of the toppings.
