Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Fresh ricotta cheese
- 8 oz Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 8 oz Grated Italian fontina cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cups Arugula
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Step 2
Divide the pizza dough into four equal portions and stretch each into an 8-inch circle on a sheet of parchment paper.
Step 3
Brush each dough circle generously with olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Step 4
Mince the garlic and sprinkle an equal amount over each prepared pizza base, distributing evenly.
Step 5
Spread a layer of ricotta cheese on each dough circle, followed by slices of mozzarella, grated fontina, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Step 6
Use a pizza peel or flat sheet to transfer each pizza (along with the parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Step 7
While the pizzas are baking, toss the arugula with lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, and kosher salt in a large bowl.
Step 8
Once the pizzas are out of the oven, let them cool slightly. Top each with a generous handful of dressed arugula just before serving.
Step 9
Slice and enjoy immediately!
