Preparation
Pizza quattro stagioni is typically prepared using a tomato sauce and cheese.[1][2][3] It is most often made by adding artichokes, tomatoes, basil, mushrooms, prosciutto, and olives to four separate sections of the pizza.[2] Other ingredients may also be used.[8] Fresh-cooked or canned artichoke hearts may be used.[3]
Some of the topping ingredients can be partially oven-dried so they do not make the pizza soggy.[4] Baking it on a pizza stone can also prevent sogginess.[4] The pizza may be finished with olive oil drizzled atop the pizza.[3][2] It can be sliced into wedges or into its four sections.[1][2] Pizza quattro stagioni can be vegetarian if prosciutto is substituted by a vegetarian option.[9]
