Ingredients

  • 1 pound whole-wheat pizza dough
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes, no salt added
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 4 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh arugula
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.

Step 2

Roll out the whole-wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly floured pizza stone.

Step 4

In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 9

Top with slices of prosciutto.

Step 10

Brush the edges of the crust with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to help it brown.

Step 11

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with fresh arugula.

Step 13

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the arugula before serving.

Step 14

Cut into slices and serve immediately.
