Prosciutto Pizza Recipe - Oven or Grill - My Kitchen Love (2024)

Crispy prosciutto, melty mozzarella, and zesty tomato sauce make for the tastiest Prosciutto Pizza. Simple, yet flavourful ingredients make this our family favourite pizza recipe.

There is absolutely no greater pizza recipe my family loves beyond this prosciutto pizza.

Crispy perfectly aged prosciutto, the meltiest mozzarella, and the fresh summer taste of basil. It has it all my friends.

And don’t bother pulling your eyes away from the cheese-pull situation above … it’s glorious and it’s a breezy recipe to pull together.

Why prosciutto? My kids all adore its thinly sliced saltiness and I love how easy it is to use everyday.

It makes this pizza special and lets the simple, yet mouthwatering flavours shine.

Prosciutto is the perfect addition to any pizza, charcuterie board, or other recipe.

The ingredient list for this pizza is crazy short and because it is, using quality ingredients is key.

Buying pre-made pizza dough is an easy option to save some time. If you buy the dough frozen, be sure to let it proof during the day so it’s ready for cooking.

If you want to make your own pizza dough I highly recommend this pizza dough recipe.

If you’re using raw pizza dough (either store bought or homemade) I highly recommend baking the dough for 3-5 minutes before adding any topping. This ensures the dough is cooked perfectly throughout making the best base for your pizza.

What goes with prosciutto pizza?

Arugula salad is one of our family’s go-tos, mostly because it is easy and yet delicious. Squeeze some lemon juice on top with some cracked black pepper and you have the world’s easiest and tastiest salads.

All other salads work here too. Caesar salad or even Greek salad if your kids aren’t into green leafy things.

More prosciutto recipes we can’t get enough of:

Tips for successful pizza making:

1. Preheat the pizza stone or baking tray before adding the dough.
2. Make sure you use that baking tray upside down. It creates the ideal surface for pizza making if you don’t own a pizza stone.
3. Use semolina flour or corse cornmeal to sprinkle under where you’re going to place the dough. This ensures the dough doesn’t stick and it won’t burn like parchment paper does.
4. If using fresh pizza dough, don’t stress the shape. Oval tastes just as good as round – I promise.
5. Use a thick sauce and I occasionally add 1 minced garlic to it for a flavour boost.
6. Get that cheese nice and bubbly and that prosciutto crispy! This means a high heat 475-500 °F depending on your oven.

Enjoy! xo
