Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Dry yeast
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 0.5 cup Warm water (110°F)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Tomato sauce
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 4 slices Prosciutto (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Artichoke hearts (quartered)
• 0.5 cup Black olives (sliced)
• 1 cup Fresh arugula
• 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the dry yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, honey, white wine, and olive oil.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients together until a rough dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out one portion into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.

Step 7

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Spread half of the tomato sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border.

Step 8

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by 2 slices of prosciutto, half the artichoke hearts, and half the black olives.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and top it with half the fresh arugula, 3 basil leaves, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the second portion of dough and toppings to make the second pizza.

Step 12

Slice and serve the pizzas immediately, letting your taste buds savor the Hearts of Italy!
