Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
• Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the dough with olive oil evenly, ensuring the edges are coated for a golden crust.
• Evenly sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper over the dough.
• Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the pizza base.
• Distribute the quartered artichoke hearts across the cheese layer.
• Lay the slices of prosciutto cotto over the artichokes, covering the pizza generously.
• Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top for additional flavor.
• Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or pizza stone) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
• Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
• Top with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
