  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        Basic pizza dough
   2       c            (about 8 oz) shredded fresh
                        Mozzarella cheese
   2       c            (about 1 lb) ricotta cheese
     1/2   c            (about 2 oz) freshly grated
                        Parmesan cheese
                        Cornmeal, if using a pizza
                        Peel
     1/2   c            Olive oil, approximately
   1       c            Peeled, seeded, chopped, and
                        Well-drained vine-ripened or
                        Canned Italian plum tomatoes
   5       oz           Prosciutto or other
                        Flavourful ham, slivered
   3                    Garlic cloves, minced or
                        Pressed (optional)
                        Salt
                        Freshly ground black pepper

  In a large bowl, combine the mozzarella, ricotta, and 1/4 cup of the
  Parmesan; reserve.
  Roll out or stretch the pizza dough into circles.  Working with 1 circle at
  a time, place the dough on a pizza pan generously sprinkled with cornmeal
  or on a lightly oiled pizza screen.  Brush dough all over with olive oil,
  then cover half of dough circle with a generous portion of the cheeses,
  leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.  Sprinkle with the tomatoes,
  prosciutto, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.  Fold the uncovered side
  over the filling and press the edges of the dough together to seal.  Brush
  the dough with olive oil.
  Transfer to an oven preheated to 500 degrees and bake until the crust is
  golden brown and puffy, about 15 minutes.  Remove from the oven to a
  plate, lightly brush with olive oil, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and
  serve immediately.
  Serves 4 to 6 as a main course, 8 to 10 as a starter.
