Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 4 ounces Prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups Arugula
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet upside down on the middle rack.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch round.
Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush the entire surface of the dough with the garlic mixture.
Arrange the fresh mozzarella cheese slices evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
Distribute the prosciutto slices across the mozzarella and follow with evenly placed cherry tomato halves.
Carefully slide the parchment paper and pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
While the pizza is baking, in a small bowl, toss the arugula with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 2 minutes.
Top the pizza with the seasoned arugula, and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Slice the pizza and serve immediately.
