Preparation Steps
1
First, prepare the yeast mixture: in a bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, then crumble in the yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Once the yeast is foamy, add the olive oil and pour it into the flour mixture. Mix until combined, then knead into a smooth dough.
3
Cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour to rise. The ideal temperature is around 77°F (25°C).
4
When the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out into a rectangular shape.
5
Slice the ham into small pieces and sprinkle it over the rolled-out dough. Cut the mozzarella into small pieces as well, and place them on top of the ham.
6
Fold the edges of the dough up slightly, then gently press the ham and mozzarella pieces into the dough. Brush the top with olive oil.
7
Let the dough rest for another 15 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
8
When done, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve fresh.
