Instructions

1
Preheat your pizza oven to 700°F (or your home oven to its highest setting).
2
Take your pizza dough out of the fridge to let it come to room temperature.
3
Lightly flour your work surface and the dough ball.
4
Gently press and stretch the dough by hand to your desired size and thickness, forming a crust around the edge.
5
Dust a pizza peel with flour to prevent sticking and place the stretched dough on top.
6
Gently warm the extra virgin olive oil with smashed garlic cloves to infuse the flavor.
7
Brush the garlic-infused olive oil over the surface of the pizza dough.
8
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the oil.
9
Sprinkle dried oregano over the cheese.
10
Launch the pizza into the preheated oven and bake for 2-3 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
11
Remove the cooked pizza from the oven.
12
Immediately top the hot pizza with torn pieces of fresh mozzarella.
13
Arrange torn pieces of prosciutto over the mozzarella.
14
Gently warm the orange marmalade and brush it over the prosciutto and cheese.
15
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the pizza for crunch.
16
Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
17
Finish with a drizzle of good quality extra virgin olive oil before slicing and serving.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Warm the orange marmalade slightly before spreading to distribute evenly and prevent it from sinking into the cheese.
Add fresh mozzarella and prosciutto after the pizza comes out of the oven or in the final 1-2 minutes of baking to preserve their delicate texture and prevent the prosciutto from crisping too much.
Toast the pistachios lightly in a dry pan before sprinkling to intensify their flavor and ensure crunchiness throughout eating.
Brush the crust edges with the garlic-infused olive oil before baking to develop a golden, flavorful border.

Substitutions

Orange marmalade → apricot jam or fig jam (adjusts sweetness slightly; use sparingly)
Pistachios → pine nuts or toasted almonds (similar crunch and nuttiness)
Prosciutto di Parma → San Daniele ham or speck (maintains the cured meat quality)
Fresh mozzarella → burrata (creamier, adds richness but use less)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to restore crust texture without melting the fresh toppings.

Equipment

pizza stone or baking sheet · pizza peel (recommended for transfer)

Common Questions

Can I make this pizza ahead of time?

Prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add toppings and bake fresh just before serving for the best texture and melted cheese.

Should I use shredded or fresh mozzarella?

This recipe uses both: shredded mozzarella for the base layer (better melting) and fresh mozzarella torn into pieces added before serving for creaminess and texture contrast.

What type of orange marmalade works best?

A quality bitter orange marmalade (traditional Seville) provides the right balance of sweetness and citrus tang. Warm it slightly before topping for easier spreading.

Can I substitute the prosciutto di Parma?

Yes, use prosciutto di Parma alternatives like San Daniele or other quality cured ham. Avoid thick-cut varieties; thin slices work best for this pizza.

How do I prevent the pizza crust from getting soggy?

Apply the garlic-infused olive oil base generously to create a moisture barrier, and add wet toppings like marmalade only after the initial bake or just before serving.
