Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Resting Time: 3 hours
Difficulty: Medium
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• Type 0 flour, 500 g
• Water, 300 ml
• Fresh yeast, 10 g (or dry yeast, 3 g)
• Salt, 10 g
• Extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp
• Sugar, 1 tsp (to activate the yeast)

For the topping:

• Tomato puree, 300 g
• Classic Flavor Anchovy Fillets for Pizza, 8-10 fillets
• Cooked ham, 150 g (thinly sliced)
• Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
• Oregano, as needed
• Salt, as needed
• Pepper, as needed

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • Dissolve the fresh yeast in a small amount of warm water with the sugar and let it rest for 10 minutes until bubbles form.
   • In a large bowl, add the flour and make a well in the center.
   • Gradually pour the dissolved yeast and water into the well, starting to mix.
   • Add the salt and olive oil, then knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
   • Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rise for 2-3 hours or until it doubles in size.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In a bowl, mix the tomato puree with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.
3. Assemble the Pizza:
   • Once the dough has risen, divide it into two portions. Roll it out on a surface dusted with semolina, then gently press and stretch it onto an oiled rectangular baking tray, achieving a thickness of about 3-4 mm (typical of Roman-style pizza).
   • Spread the seasoned tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base.
4. Bake:
   • Preheat the oven to 250°C (preferably with a pizza stone). Bake the pizza for about 8-10 minutes.
   • Midway through the baking, add the rolled anchovy fillets and strips of cooked ham.
5. Finish Baking:
   • Continue baking for another 2-3 minutes, until the pizza crust is crispy and the toppings are well combined.
6. Serve:
   • Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Slice and serve immediately.
