Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12 inches in diameter) pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1.5 cups (shredded) mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 2 cups (fresh) arugula
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside to heat.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for ease of moving.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil with minced garlic cloves. Brush the mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
Step 4
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Step 5
Scatter the grated Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella layer.
Step 6
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Step 7
Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
Step 8
While the pizza is baking, combine the arugula, lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Toss gently to coat the arugula evenly.
Step 9
Once the pizza is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
Step 10
Arrange the prosciutto slices over the pizza, then top with the dressed arugula.
Step 11
Slice and serve immediately while the pizza is warm and the arugula is crisp.
