The summer pizza is a leavened product made with raw ingredients.
It’s very hot and no one feels like turning on the stove, let alone the oven.
Usually, you prepare cold dishes or those that require short cooking times.
This time, I made an exception and decided to make pizza 😉
I like it in any season.
In this version, I lightened it even more by only cooking the base, which took about 20 minutes.
For topping, I used only cold ingredients: arugula, cherry tomatoes, prosciutto, and parmesan flakes.
It’s tasty and light at the same time.
Now it’s your turn to prepare it 😉 and bon appétit!

Preparation of the summer pizza
Prepare the dough:
Pour the flour and sourdough starter on the table.
In a small pot, warm the water for a few seconds after dissolving the oil and salt in it.
Pour the liquid mixture onto the flour and sourdough starter.
Knead the dough with your hands to form an elastic ball.
If the dough seems a bit sticky, add a little flour.
Wrap the ball in plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place covered.
Take the ball with oiled hands and spread it in the baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 392°F in static mode and bake for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling:
Wash and chop the arugula.
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Remove the pizza dough from the oven.
Add the arugula, cherry tomatoes, parmesan flakes, and torn prosciutto.
