Italian Classic

Pizza Quattro Stagioni

⏱ Prep: 25 min 🔥 Bake: 10 min 🕐 Total: 3–24h (dough) 👤 Difficulty: Easy 🍕 Serves: 2 pizzas

Pizza Quattro Stagioni represents the four seasons of Italy on a single pizza. Each quarter tells a story: artichokes for spring, tomatoes and basil for summer, mushrooms for autumn, and ham and olives for winter. Divided into four sections, it is as beautiful as it is delicious.

🧂 Ingredients

Dough (2 balls)

  • 500g Tipo 00 flour
  • 325ml water (65%)
  • 10g sea salt
  • 3g instant yeast

Toppings per pizza

  • 100g tomato sauce (San Marzano)
  • 100g fior di latte mozzarella
  • 80g mushrooms, sliced & sautéed
  • 80g cooked ham (prosciutto cotto)
  • 80g artichoke hearts in oil, drained
  • 40g black olives, pitted
  • Fresh oregano + olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1

Prepare dough

Make Neapolitan dough following our standard recipe. Cold ferment 24h for best flavour. Remove from fridge 1 hour before shaping.

2

Prepare toppings

Sauté mushrooms in olive oil with a pinch of salt until golden. Drain artichoke hearts and slice. Tear mozzarella and leave to drain on paper towel.

3

Shape the base

Stretch dough by hand to 28–30cm. Spread tomato sauce over the entire base, leaving the cornicione border.

4

Add mozzarella

Distribute torn mozzarella evenly across the whole pizza. This acts as the base layer for all four sections.

5

Divide into quarters

Mentally divide the pizza into four equal quarters. Each quarter gets one topping: mushrooms (top left), ham (top right), artichokes (bottom right), olives (bottom left).

6

Bake

Bake on preheated stone at 250°C+ for 8–10 minutes until crust is golden and cheese bubbles. Each topping section should look distinct.

7

Finish

Drizzle with olive oil and scatter fresh oregano over the top. Serve immediately.
