Today we’re presenting a first recipe to use our pizza dough: delicious zucchini and ham swirls. They are perfect as an appetizer or finger food: the combination of zucchini, basil and ham is delicious 🙂 .

The recipe is easy to prepare, we’ll give you some tips for a better result:

• roll out the dough very thin, about 2-3 mm, so that it won’t remain raw in the center.
• you do not have to overdo it with the zucchini, otherwise the swirls will tend to fall apart while you try to eat them.
• in order not to distort during cutting, use a sharp knife; in this way you will avoid the filling from leaking out 🙂 .
