Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 14 ounces) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 8 ounces, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 ounce, grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 ounces, thinly sliced Prosciutto
- 2 cups Arugula
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, about 12 inches in diameter for a thin crust.
Step 3
Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the minced garlic. Brush this mixture evenly over the pizza dough.
Step 5
Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 6
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella.
Step 7
Using the pizza peel or baking sheet, slide the pizza onto the heated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Step 8
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Step 9
While the pizza is baking, toss the arugula with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper in a bowl.
Step 10
Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 2 minutes.
Step 11
Lay the slices of prosciutto evenly over the pizza, and then top with the arugula mixture.
Step 12
Slice and serve the pizza immediately for the best combination of crispy crust, melted cheese, and fresh toppings.
