Ingredients
- Homemade or store-bought pizza dough
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella sliced
- 4-6 slices prosciutto
- 1 tablespoon olive oil optional, for drizzling
- 1 cup pizza sauce optional
- 1/2 cup fresh arugula optional
- 1 tablespoon balsamic reduction optional
Instructions
- Step-by-Step Guide:
- Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (or 475°F if using a pizza stone).
- Stretch or roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Assemble the Pizza:
- If using, spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough.
- Distribute the fresh mozzarella slices evenly over the sauce (or directly on the dough if not using sauce).
- Arrange the prosciutto slices on top of the cheese.
- Bake the Pizza:
- If using a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven. Transfer the assembled pizza onto the hot stone using a pizza peel.
- If using a baking sheet, place the pizza on the sheet and bake in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and Serve:
- Drizzle with olive oil and optional balsamic reduction.
- Top with fresh arugula if desired.
- Slice and serve immediately.
