Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
Roll out the whole-wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round.
Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly floured pizza stone.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Top with slices of prosciutto.
Brush the edges of the crust with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to help it brown.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with fresh arugula.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the arugula before serving.
Cut into slices and serve immediately.
