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
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
- 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.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone, ensuring it is well-centered.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, covering it completely.
- 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.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Top the warm pizza with fresh arugula and slices of prosciutto, allowing the heat to slightly wilt the arugula.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over the toppings for a sweet and tangy finish.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, slice, and serve your arugula and prosciutto pizza hot.
Tips
- For a homemade pizza dough, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of instant yeast, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 3/4 cup of warm water. Knead for 5-10 minutes, let rise for 1 hour, and then roll out.
- Feel free to add other toppings such as cherry tomatoes, olives, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
- For a spicy kick, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
