Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it on the lowest rack.

  2. Step 2

    Let pizza dough come to room temperature for 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, combine crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Set sauce aside.

  4. Step 4

    Pat mushroom slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  5. Step 5

    Stretch or roll dough to fit a 14-inch pizza pan or shape into two 8-inch rounds.

  6. Step 6

    Brush dough lightly with olive oil, then spread tomato sauce evenly, leaving a 0.5-inch border.

  7. Step 7

    Distribute torn mozzarella over sauce, then scatter ham pieces, mushrooms, artichokes, and olives.

  8. Step 8

    Drizzle remaining olive oil over toppings. Bake for 15–18 minutes until crust is golden and cheese bubbles.

  9. Step 9

    Remove from oven and top with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve immediately.
