Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• ½ cup crushed tomatoes
• 8 oz fresh mozzarella
• 4 oz prosciutto
• 4 cup arugula
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ¼ tsp salt
• ⅛ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
2. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness.
3. In a small bowl, combine crushed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread the sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
4. Tear fresh mozzarella into small pieces and distribute them over the sauce.
5. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
6. Remove the pizza from the oven. Immediately drape the prosciutto slices over the hot pizza, then scatter the fresh arugula on top. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
7. Slice and serve hot, optionally garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
