Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups Arugula
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 ounces Prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, approximately 12 inches in diameter.
Carefully remove the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle it with a little flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to the stone or sheet.
In a small pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being cautious not to burn.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the sautéed garlic evenly over the sauce followed by an even layer of mozzarella cheese.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
While the pizza is baking, in a medium bowl, toss arugula with lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Top with fresh arugula mixture, scattered cherry tomatoes, and the thinly sliced prosciutto.
Slice the pizza and serve immediately.
