INGREDIENTS

160 g polenta
1 tablespoon olive oil
200 g cherry tomatoes (cut into small pieces)
200 g light mozzarella (coarsely grated)
2 cloves garlic (pressed)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
300 g quality chicken ham (min. 90% meat) or cooked chicken meat
Salt
Pepper
1 l water

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Put the polenta and water in a medium-sized saucepan. Add salt and cook for 15–20 minutes over low to medium heat. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet (40 cm × 30 cm) with baking paper.
2
After cooking, stir olive oil into the polenta and transfer it to the baking sheet. Use a wooden spoon to spread it over the entire baking paper and let it cool for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to the highest temperature (300 °C) on the grill function. Place the cooled polenta in the oven and bake until golden brown for 10–12 minutes at 300–310 °C.
3
While the polenta is baking, mix cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, garlic, and spices, and season with salt and pepper.
4
Spread ½ of the tomato mixture over the baked crust. Then lay all the ham on top and spread the rest of the tomato mixture on top. Bake the pizza for 5 minutes at 300 °C on the grill function.

Tip

If your oven does not reach the specified temperature, bake at the highest possible temperature. The baking time will then increase by 2–5 minutes.
