Spanish Pizza

     This is a simple pizza recipe. Firstly, use your favorite pizza dough--I use Evie Righter's recipe from her book The Best of Italy with the exception of honey or maple syrup for the sugar.  To make a pizza sauce use either tomato sauce or passata as a base.  I start with extra virgin olive oil over a medium heat in a sauce pan, add sliced garlic, then a pinch of red pepper flakes.  Allow garlic to slightly brown.  Add  tomato sauce of your choice: passaata, crushed, diced.  Add oregano to taste and stir.  
     Stretch out the dough in a olive oil coated lasagna pan. Start with tomato sauce, spread evenly. Then layer in drained marinated artichokes and drained pequillo peppers. Follow that with a layer of sliced Serrano ham then  fresh mozzarella cheese.
     Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for around twenty minutes.
