Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

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

Notes

Additional Notes:
For a crispier crust, use a pizza stone if available.
Adjust baking time based on your oven and dough thickness.
Customize with additional toppings as desired.
