Directions
Dough
Step 1:
Combine water and yeast in large bowl of electric mixer. Let sit until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add 2 cups (500 mL) flour and salt. Beat on low speed 1 minute, increase to medium high and beat 2 minutes. Dough will be sticky. Add 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped hot pepper rings and 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped prosciutto and mix until blended into dough. Add additional flour to form a smooth dough that pulls away from the side of the bowl. Remove to greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and tea towel. Let rise in warm place, 45-60 minutes.
Step 2:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 400°F (220°C).
Step 3:
Remove dough to well-floured surface. Roll dough to 10" x 13" (25 cm x 33 cm) rectangle. With floured knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into 8 strips. Roll each strip into rope about 10" (25 cm) long, twisting each rope with 1 slice of prosciutto. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cover with tea towel. Meanwhile, prepare topping.
Topping
Step 4:
Combine garlic and olive oil in microwave safe bowl. Heat on high 30-45 seconds, or until fragrant. Remove and mix. Brush dough with garlic olive oil mixture and sprinkle with cheese and additional hot pepper rings.
Step 5:
Bake in preheated oven, 18-20 minutes or until an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C). Let cool on pan 5 minutes, then remove to cooling rack. Serve warm.
