Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
This pizza combines salty, flavorful prosciutto with tender artichokes for a perfect balance of savory tastes. The crispy crust adds a satisfying crunch, while the melted cheese ties all the ingredients together. It’s a unique twist on a classic favorite that feels both gourmet and comforting.
Directions
Warm your oven to 425°F (220°C). Take the pizza out of its packaging and set it on a clean surface. Scatter the prosciutto, artichokes, minced garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes evenly over the top. Slide the pizza onto a baking sheet or directly onto the oven rack and bake for about 13 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and crispy. Once it's out of the oven, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the top while it’s still warm. Let it cool for a minute or two, then slice and enjoy!
