Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 1¼ cup Warm Water 100F/38C
  • ½ teaspoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Quick Rising Dry Yeast
  • 2½ cups "00" Style Pizza Flour or All Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dry Oregano
  • 3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Other Pizza Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon Basil Pesto
  • 2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese grated
  • ⅓ cup Red Onion thinly sliced
  • 100 grams Prosciutto Slices
  • 3 cups Baby Arugula
  • 2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 2 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • ½ teaspoon Sea Salt Flakes

Instructions
 

Making the Pizza Dough

  • Start making the pizza dough by combining in a small bowl, the warm water, sugar, and dry yeast. Let it rest until the yeast start to foam on top, 5-10 minutes.
    1¼ cup Warm Water, ½ teaspoon Granulated Sugar, 1 tablespoon Quick Rising Dry Yeast
  • Place in a bowl of stand mixer, the flour, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Pour the yeast mixture and the olive oil in with the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough comes together and it can be shaped into a ball.
    2½ cups "00" Style Pizza Flour, ½ teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder, 1 teaspoon Dry Oregano, 3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Place the dough ball in a bowl, coated with olive oil. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes or until doubled in size.

Assemble the Pizza

  • Preheat the oven to 450F before starting to shape and dress the pizzas.
  • Divide the dough in 2 equal parts. Shape them in 12" pizzas or use them to make your own recipe. Place the pizza doughs on an oiled pizza pan or baking pan. Stir together the pesto with olive oil, and spread on the pizzas as the base.
    3 tablespoon Basil Pesto, 2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Sprinkle half of the grated cheese on each pizza. Place slices of the red onion on top of the cheese. Place sliced of the prosciutto, evenly spaced on the pizza, so that each slice would get a piece. Bake in the preheated 450F oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden.
    2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, ⅓ cup Red Onion, 100 grams Prosciutto Slices
  • While the pizzas are baking, prepare the arugula. Place the arugula in a mixing bowl. Drizzle on a little olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    3 cups Baby Arugula, 2 teaspoon Lemon Juice, 2 teaspoon Olive Oil, ½ teaspoon Sea Salt Flakes
  • Take the baked pizzas out of the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes. Cut them into your desired sized pieces. Use a fork to place the dressed arugula on top of the pizzas right before serving as it might wilt a little with the heat of the pizzas.
