🍕 Enjoy a quick and flavorful dinner with this Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza, perfect for busy weeknights.
🌿 The fresh arugula adds a peppery bite that complements the salty prosciutto for a delicious balance of flavors.

  • Total Time: 11 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

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-Making prosciutto and arugula pizza at home is straightforward, fitting right into your quick pizza recipes routine. Start with preheating your oven to 550°F, which is ideal for achieving that crispy crust on your prosciutto pizza. This high heat ensures your arugula pizza turns out with the perfect balance of gooey cheese and fresh toppings.

2-First, take one piece of the dough and roll or stretch it into a 10- to 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Brush the edges with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to help it crisp up nicely. This step is crucial for weeknight dinner ideas that need to be fast yet flavorful.

3-Next, spread half of the tomato sauce, about 1/4 cup, evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle a quarter of the cheese, which is 3/8 cup or 1.5 ounces, over the sauce for a melty base. Lay 4 slices of prosciutto evenly on top, then add another 3/8 cup or 1.5 ounces of cheese to hold everything in place.

4-Bake the pizza for about 6 minutes until the edges are lightly browned and the cheese is bubbly. Once out of the oven, scatter half of the arugula over the hot pizza for that fresh, peppery touch. Cut and serve right away for the best taste.

5-Repeat the process with the remaining dough, another tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 cup tomato sauce, the rest of the cheese divided as before, 4 more slices of prosciutto, and the remaining arugula. For variations, add extras like a drizzle of olive oil on the greens to enhance flavors. This method keeps your prosciutto and arugula pizza recipe simple and adaptable.
