Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper to easily place it onto the hot baking surface.

Step 4

Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.

Step 5

Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the olive oil.

Step 6

Spread the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top of the garlic.

Step 7

Arrange the thinly sliced plum tomatoes and red onion slices over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Season the top with salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden and crisp.

Step 11

While the pizza is baking, toss the fresh arugula with lemon juice in a small bowl.

Step 12

Once the pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 13

Top the baked pizza with the arugula mixture, slice, and serve immediately.
