Four Seasons Gourmet Pizza

1. Preheat Broiler

First, preheat your broiler. This ensures that it's hot enough to melt the cheese and crisp the crust quickly.

2. Season Asparagus

While the broiler is heating up, take your thinly sliced asparagus and toss it in a bowl with 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil, a pinch of Maldon salt, and some coarsely ground black pepper. This step seasons the asparagus, so it cooks evenly and enhances its natural flavors.

3. Spread Tomato Sauce

Next, spread 0.25 cup of Pomì strained tomatoes evenly over your parbaked pizza crust, leaving a 0.25-inch border around the edges. This border will crisp up nicely under the broiler.

4. Add Asparagus and Mushrooms

Once the tomato sauce is spread, arrange the seasoned asparagus over the sauce. Follow this by evenly distributing the mushrooms, which should be prepared with a touch of truffle vinaigrette for a rich, earthy flavor.

5. Add Peppers and Prosciutto

Add the peppers next, making sure they are spread out to prevent any single bite from being too overwhelming. Scatter the julienned strips of prosciutto cotto over the vegetables. This adds a savory, meaty component that complements the freshness of the vegetables.

6. Add Mozzarella

Now, arrange the slices of fresh mozzarella on top of everything. The cheese will melt beautifully under the broiler, binding all the toppings together with its creamy texture.

7. Broil Pizza

Place the pizza under the broiler and watch it carefully. Within 5 to 10 minutes, the cheese should be melted and bubbly, and the crust should turn a delicious golden brown. This quick broiling step ensures that the pizza is hot and the flavors meld perfectly.

8. Drizzle Olive Oil and Slice

Once the pizza is out of the broiler, drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top to add a final touch of richness. Finally, use a pizza cutter to slice the pizza into four pieces, making it easy to serve and enjoy.
