Preparation
Pizza quattro stagioni is typically prepared using artichokes, tomatoes or basil, mushrooms and ham or prosciutto, or olives. The artichokes represent spring, tomatoes or basil represent summer, mushrooms represent autumn and the ham or olives represent winter. Other ingredients may also be used. It is typically prepared using a tomato sauce and cheese. Fresh-cooked or canned artichoke hearts may be used.
Some of the topping ingredients can first be dried in an oven to reduce their moisture, which prevents the pizza from being soggy when finished. Baking it on a pizza stone can also prevent sogginess. It may be finished with olive oil drizzled atop the pizza. The pizza can be sliced into wedges or by its four sections. Pizza quattro stagioni can be prepared as a vegetarian dish.
