Put the Jamon Y Morrones pizza on the middle shelf of the oven and set a timer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, open the door and check the pizza.
This pizza should take approximately 15 minutes, however allow it to cook to personal taste.
About Egg
Although not a common topping, Egg is usually hard boiled and then sliced and allowed to cool completely, before being used as a topping on Pizza. However, some pizzas go well with a fried egg placed on top.
Eggs are very healthy for you. One egg contains only 5 grams of fat, 7 grams of high-quality protein, iron, minerals, vitamins and carotenoids. The humble egg contains amazing disease fighting nutrients, such as zeaxanthin and lutein.
Pizza Tools
When making Jamon Y Morrones Pizza, I always recommend that you use what you have available, without spending lots of money. My basic pizza tool list is…
Pizza Peel
Sometimes called a paddle or shovel, a pizza peel is a vital tool for those who make pizza regularly.
Bench Scrapers
Good quality metal or plastic bench scrapers make it so much esier to both cut your dough, and scrape your bench. I prefer plastic to avoid scratching my bench.
Rolling Pin
Yes, I know, many people swear by hand stretching, however there’s times in all our lives where we need a good wooden roller.
Blue Cheese
The cultures of the mold Penicillium, gives Blue Cheese its unusual blue spots and veins. Mostly made from cow’s milk, Blue Cheese can also be made with goat’s milk or sheep’s milk.
Blue cheese is rich in calcium and other nutrients, however you should eat it in moderation, thanks to the high levels of sodium, saturated fat and high calories.
