Method 8 steps
Combine the warm water, sugar, yeast, and salt in a jug, mixing well to ensure the yeast is distributed. Allow the mixture to rest for 3–4 minutes to activate the yeast.
Pour the flour in a bowl or a salad bowl, then stir in the yeast mixture. Mix, then knead well until you get a smooth dough that doesn't stick to your hands. If the dough is too sticky after a few minutes of kneading, try kneading in a little more flour.
Add the olive oil, and knead again until smooth.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth, and let the dough rest for around 20 min.
Briefly knead again, then roll the dough out with a rolling pin until thin. Transfer to a baking sheet.
Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, then top with the ham slices, arranging them closely together.
Scatter the mozzarella then the Emmental cheese over the ham.
Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 15 minutes.
