Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Tomato sauce, no salt added
- 4 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese, part-skim
- 2 ounces Prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Baby arugula
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position the oven rack in the lower third.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch disc. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the top of the dough with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle minced garlic evenly over it.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border for the crust.
Tear the part-skim mozzarella cheese into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the tomato sauce.
Arrange the thinly sliced prosciutto over the cheese.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
While the pizza is baking, toss the baby arugula with salt and freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl.
Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and immediately top it with the seasoned arugula, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the pizza for a hint of sweetness.
Cut the pizza into slices and serve immediately.
