Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 ounces) whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.5 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup (shredded) part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1 cup arugula
- 0.5 cup (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) red onion
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional) crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the middle rack to heat.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch round. Carefully transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
Tear the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and evenly distribute them over the cheese.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced red onion over the top.
Sprinkle dried oregano and black pepper over the toppings.
Drizzle the teaspoon of olive oil over the pizza for added flavor.
Using a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet, slide the pizza with its parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Top with fresh arugula and optionally sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes if you enjoy a spicier kick.
Slice and serve immediately, enjoying your delicious homemade low-fat prosciutto pizza!
