4.48 from 34 votes

Ingredients  

  • 1 lbs pizza dough
  • 1 cup pizza sauce, divided (recipe in notes)
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella, divided
  • 4 cups fresh baby arugula
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 12 slices prosciutto crudo
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano

Instructions 

  • Place a pizza stone on top rack in your oven and preheat to the highest setting (mine goes up to 550F degrees). The stone should preheat for at least 30 minutes but 1 hour is better.
  • Divide your dough into 4 equal parts and shape them into balls. Sprinkle some flour on the top of the dough and cover with a damp towel or plastic. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes!
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out your dough into 8-inch round pies. Transfer to a pizza peel covered with parchment paper or an upside down baking sheet.
  • Brush some olive oil on your pie and season with some salt and pepper.
  • Add the pizza sauce to the middle of the pizza and, using the back of a spoon, spread it evenly across the surface, stopping about 1/2 inch from the edges.
  • Add 3/4 cup of shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, approximately 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Repeat all steps with the other 3 dough balls.
  • In a larger bowl, toss the arugula with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
  • Top the pizzas with the arugula and the prosciutto. Finish off with the shaved parmesan.
  • Cut the pizzas into slices, sprinkle some extra olive oil (or truffle oil!) and serve!

Notes

To make a no-cook pizza sauce, just combine 1 cup of crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder and some oregano to taste. For a pizza sauce that you can make on the stove, please find the recipe here.
