Arugula and Prosciutto Pizza

Ingredients

• Pizza dough (1 (store-bought or homemade))
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Mozzarella cheese (2 cups, shredded)
• Prosciutto (4 ounces, sliced)
• Arugula (2 cups, fresh)
• Balsamic glaze (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. For a classic thin crust, aim for about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone, ensuring it is well-centered.
4. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush this mixture generously over the surface of the pizza dough to infuse flavor.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, covering it completely.
6. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack.
8. Top the warm pizza with fresh arugula and slices of prosciutto, allowing the heat to slightly wilt the arugula.
9. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the toppings for a sweet and tangy finish.
10. Season with salt and pepper to taste, slice, and serve your arugula and prosciutto pizza hot.
