How to Prepare the Parigina-Style with Grilled Zucchini, Cooked Ham, and Cheese Slices
Lay the ready-made pizza dough on a baking tray. Place the paper provided with the pizza dough underneath.
Arrange the grilled zucchini evenly. Adjust the salt and drizzle with a dash of extra virgin olive oil.
Add the slices of cooked ham.
Break the cheese slices into pieces and distribute them over the ham.
Cover with the rectangular roll of puff pastry, aligning the edges.
Seal the edges well by pressing them with your fingers or the prongs of a fork.
Poke the surface with a fork and make some small incisions with scissors or a knife.
Brush with a dash of extra virgin olive oil.
Bake in a static oven, preheated to 356°F (180°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve.
Storage
The parigina-style can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days, in an airtight container. It can be reheated in a traditional oven or air fryer to regain its crispness. Freezing is not recommended as the pastry loses its crunchiness.
