Nothing makes me happier than cooking with fresh, good quality ingredients. This is the case here with the Grana Padano cheese and the prosciutto (I can’t decide which one is the best between Prosciutto di Parma and Prosciutto di San Daniele – I love them too much both). Not only are they natural products with Protected Designation of Origin, they can always be trusted to offer authentic luxury products that respect the Italian tradition. What? All-natural and gluten-free prosciuttos that are air dried for 13 months? Ahhh it reminds me of my trip to Italy! Note: Grana Padano cheese should NEVER be called parmesan cheese. They are two different kind!

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 500°F. Sprinkle a large round baking tray generously with flour.
On a floured work surface, roll out the pizza dough to form a 12” circle. Place on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle the dough with a thin stream of olive oil and spread well with your fingers. Sprinkle with garlic salt to taste.
Add the pesto and spread well. Sprinkle pizza with Grana Padano cheese.
Place in the oven and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let stand for 3-4 minutes.
Place slices of prosciutto over the pizza, garnish with fresh cheese and drizzle a thin stream of olive oil!

Our sommeliers suggest

Comoloco Jumilla

Mediterranean Coast, Spain

The Comoloco Jumilla is a fruity, generous red from Spain, made from monastrell, a warm-climate grape that often gives ripe dark fruit. That generous fruit balances the saltiness of the prosciutto and the Grana Padano, and the pesto adds a touch of fresh herbs. A homemade pizza, a round red, and Friday night sorts itself out!

Doux Bisous, 4.8%

Avant-Garde

Pesto and Grana Padano make a salty, oily pizza, and the prosciutto adds more. This witbier with coriander, kaffir lime and jasmine has a soft, almost vegetal pepper that recalls basil. It follows the pesto and lightens the cheese without bitterness. See the product
