Here is a capricciosa that is more similar to the original in Italy. Unlike the swedishized version, we also have artichoke and black olives here. It makes a pretty hearty pizza with a mild flavor.
Given the ingredients, there will be quite a lot of liquid on the pizza and there is a risk that it will become a little soggy. To avoid that, I have reduced the amount of tomato sauce and ham and also cooked the mushrooms (fried in a little oil and butter) a while before. I have seen variants where you go a few steps further and use tomato puree instead of tomato sauce/passata and a dried ham (prosciutto) instead of cooked.
Unlike previous pizzas, here I have used Mutti's passata which already contains salt instead of using pureed tomatoes of another brand and adding a little salt to it. It feels like a little shortcut and it's quite convenient to be able to have this ready in a bottle in the fridge to take out when needed.
