The Silvano

This is a true Italian pizza recipe that we acquired from our dear friend and great chef, Silvano, who lives in Monza, Italy.

Ingredients

4-5 thin slices of the very best prosciutto
Fresh mozzarella
Great olive oil
Chopped romaine lettuce
pizza crust (not cooked)

Directions

Place pizza dough on a pizza spatula. Sprinkle a small amount of olive oil on the crust. Place slices of fresh mozzarella on the pizza dough. Layer the prosciutto over the mozzarella. Add a couple handfuls of the romaine lettuce. Bake in the oven at 500 degrees farenheit for about 7 minutes (watch constantly so that you don't overcook). Pull the pizza out of the oven and add a little more lettuce on top and sprinkle some more olive oil.

Voila - enjoy a wonderful and unique pizza. It is awesome and your guests will rave about it (I promise).

If you need help with making the dough, here's a recipe Make sure you do this first!:

Ingredients:
Approximately 3 cups flour
2 teaspoons yeast
3/4 cup warm water
1 egg

Place the flour into a glass bowl. Add the yeast to the warm water and let it sit (it should foam and if it doesn't you either have the water too hot or too cold). Once the yeast and water mixture has formed a good foam (about 5 minutes), add it to the flour along with the egg. Hand mix the ingredients into a ball and let the ball sit in an oiled glass bowl to rise for about a half hour (minimum). Take the dough, cut it in half and spread it out to make two round pizzas. I do this one at a time. Preheat oven to 500 degrees farenheit.
