Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet upside down on the middle rack.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch round.
Step 3
Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush the entire surface of the dough with the garlic mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the fresh mozzarella cheese slices evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
Step 6
Distribute the prosciutto slices across the mozzarella and follow with evenly placed cherry tomato halves.
Step 7
Carefully slide the parchment paper and pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Step 8
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 9
While the pizza is baking, in a small bowl, toss the arugula with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 10
Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 2 minutes.
Step 11
Top the pizza with the seasoned arugula, and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Step 12
Slice the pizza and serve immediately.
