2 cups grated mozzarella
2 cups grated Fontina
6 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
1/2 pound steamed clams
1 tomato
8 thin slices prosciutto, cut into julienne
1 1/2 cups Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
2 tablespoons basil, chiffonade
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
Prepare the dough 1 hour prior to making pizza. Divide the dough into 4 6 ounce balls.
Allow to rise until ready to shape. Preheat oven with pizza stone to 500F. Prepare the
toppings. In a bowl, combine the mozzarella and Fontina. In a small saute pan, over high heat,
saute the mushrooms in the olive oil until done. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a
plate and allow to cool. Reserve. Remove the meat from the steamed clams and reserve.
Discard the shells. Slice the tomato into at least 6 thin round slices. Reserve. To assemble
the pizzas: Place a ball of dough on floured board and stretch to about 10 or 12 inches.
Repeat with 2 additional balls. Divide last dough ball into 6 pieces, and roll each one into
10 inch strips. Divide tomato sauce evenly on dough circles leaving a small rim. Divide the
cheese on top of each pizza. Carefully place 2 strips of dough over each pizza so that you
have 4 quarters which represent the 4 seasons. Garnish each quarter: 1 with tomato, 1 with
clams, 1 with mushrooms and 1 with prosciutto julienne. Slide pizza onto hot pizza stone.
Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer
to a serving plate. Sprinkle basil over tomato section and grated Parmesan over the
mushroom section. Serve immediately.
