Ingredients
- 1 fresh pizza dough
- Butter or margarine
- Olive oil
- Garlic salt
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 10 fine slices of black forest ham, chopped
- About 20 dried prunes, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups old sharp cheddar ( or more! ), grated
- Ground pepper
Preparation
- Preheat the oven at 500°F.
- Roll dough and put on a cooking pan greased with butter or margarine. You can also use a pizza stone or a screen to cook it.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil on the pizza ( about 2 tablespoons ) and spread evenly, even on the side crust! Sprinkle the dough with garlic salt.
- Add the onions, ham then the dried prunes. Cover everything with the sharp cheddar and season with ground pepper!
- Put in the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden. You can also end the cooking by cranking the oven at broil, for a couple of minutes, to give an extra golden color to the cheese, if necessary!
