Spanish Charcuterie Pizza

Three of Spain's finest - Manchego, chorizo and Serrano ham - on a classic tomato and mozzarella base. The intense heat of your pizza oven renders the chorizo slightly, releasing its smoky paprika oil across the surface, while the Manchego melts into nutty golden pools and the Serrano ham crisps at the edges.

This is the kind of pizza you make when you want something more sophisticated than a Margherita but do not want to fuss with complicated preparations. Good Spanish ingredients do all the work - you just assemble and fire.

Ingredients

• 1 pizza dough ball
• 50g tomato pizza sauce
• 100g fresh mozzarella, torn
• 50g Manchego cheese, shaved or cubed
• 20g chorizo, sliced
• 20g Serrano ham
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Fire your pizza oven to 400 to 450 degrees.
2. Stretch the dough to about 12 inches on a floured surface.
3. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the base, leaving a border for the crust. Scatter the mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil.
4. Distribute the Manchego chunks, chorizo slices and Serrano ham across the surface.
5. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little more olive oil.
6. Slide into the oven and bake for 60 to 90 seconds, turning frequently for an even cook.
7. Serve immediately.
