DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Prepare Easy Mix Pizza Dough and
let it rise. While dough rises, make Fresh
Tomato Sauce, then set it aside. Preheat oven to 450° F. Add garlic
to the boiling water in a small
saucepan; boil for 1 minute. Drain,
peel, then slice garlic thinly.
|
|
|
|
2:
Grease two 11 to 12-inch pizza
pans (or a single 17 to 18-inch
pizza pan). Divide dough into two
equal portions; roll each half out to
an 8-inch circle (or roll all the
dough to a 12 to 14-inch circle). Pat
and stretch dough to fit pans.

|
|
3:
Divide sauce over the two pizzas
(or spread it evenly over the large,
single one). Sprinkle with garlic,
then with mozzarella, and finally
Gorgonzola cheese, dividing
all equally. Arrange half of the prosciutto
strips over each pizza.
|
|
|
|
4:
Bake on lowest rack of oven until
crusts are well browned and cheese
browns lightly (15 to 20 minutes
for small pizzas, 18 to 20 minutes
for large, single pizza). Cut into
wedges or squares and serve at once.
