Description:

The 4 season pizza is the most popular pizza in Italy. The quattro stagioni pizza represents the four seasons in its use of toppings: artichokes for spring, olives for summer, mushrooms for autumn and prosciutto for winter.

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 475°F. Place the pizza dough circle on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal and spoon tomato sauce onto the dough, spreading it up to the rim. Sprinkle Parmesan on top.

Visually divide the pizza into quarters. Scatter mozzarella over two opposite quarters. Spread the Prosciutto over one of these, and arrange the tomato over the other. Lightly salt the tomato and sprinkle basil over both sections.

Arrange the artichokes over the third quarter, and the mushrooms over the final quarter. Sprinkle oregano over both these sections.

Drizzle olive oil over the pizza. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Serve hot.

Notes:

Did you know? Italy is the world's largest producer of artichokes, with 98% of the crop being grown for export. This beautiful vegetable, which varies in color from green to vibrant purple, is actually a thistle.

World record: On March 22, 2001, Bernard Jordaan of Butler's Pizza, Cape Town, South Africa, delivered a pizza 11,042 km (6,861 mi) from Cape Town to Sydney, Australia, to set the world record for the longest pizza delivery. This record was acknowledged in the Guinness Book of Records.

Chef Eric Cooking tips: for best results, cook the pizza on a pizza stone. Place the pizza stone in the cold oven, and then turn it on. Do not place the stone in a pre-heated oven or the stone will break.
