SMART RUSTIC PARIGINA with PROSCIUTTO and provola
Tips that really make a difference
Do not put the prosciutto crudo directly in contact with the base: add a thin layer of cheese first or a very light layer of dry mozzarella.
Pat the provola with paper towels if it is too fresh.
Do not overfill: too much filling = soggy base.
Brush the surface with egg yolk and a splash of milk for perfect browning.
Bake the last 5-10 minutes on the lower rack to avoid it being raw underneath.
Want an extra touch? Add a grind of black pepper or a few leaves of oregano.

FAQ SMART RUSTIC PARIGINA with PROSCIUTTO and provola
Can I prepare the smart rustic parigina in advance?
Yes, you can assemble it a few hours in advance and bake it when ready, or bake it and warm it slightly before serving.
How to avoid the parigina base remaining raw?
Bake on the mid-lower rack of the oven and do not overfill.
What is the difference between parigina and pizza rustica?
The parigina has a pizza-like base with a top covering that creates a ‘treasure chest’ effect, while pizza rustica is more similar to a traditional savory pie.

Prefer dry provola or slightly smoked for a more intense flavor.
