Description
🍕 Enjoy a quick and flavorful dinner with this Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza, perfect for busy weeknights.
🌿 The fresh arugula adds a peppery bite that balances the savory prosciutto, creating a delicious and easy meal.
Ingredients
– 1 pound pizza dough at room temperature, divided into 2 equal pieces
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/2 cup tomato sauce
– 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 ounces)
– 8 thin slices prosciutto
– A few big handfuls of arugula
Instructions
1-Getting Started: First, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and gather all your ingredients to make assembly a breeze. Make sure your prosciutto is sliced thin and your arugula is washed and dried for the freshest taste. This step sets the stage for a prosciutto and arugula pizza that comes out perfectly every time.
2-Getting Started: Next, roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Adjust it based on your needs, like going thinner for a low-calorie option. Doing this helps the dough cook evenly and gives your prosciutto and arugula pizza that ideal crispy base.
3-Building the Pizza: Then, spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for a nice crust edge. Follow that by sprinkling shredded mozzarella cheese generously to create a creamy layer. As per the detailed directions, brush the edges with olive oil for extra flavor and a golden finish.
4-Building the Pizza: Now, layer on the prosciutto and add more cheese as specified. Bake the pizza in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the crust turns golden and the cheese bubbles up. Once done, remove it and top with fresh arugula for that peppery kick, then drizzle a bit more olive oil.
5-Building the Pizza: Finally, slice and serve right away to enjoy the mix of warm cheese and cool greens. For variations, feel free to tweak seasonings before baking, and if you love pasta dishes, try our Shrimp Scampi Pasta for a complementary recipe. Based on the provided steps, preheat the oven to 550°F if possible, roll the dough into a 10- to 12-inch circle, and bake for about 6 minutes until edges brown.
Notes
