Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) or as hot as your oven allows.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dough

    On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired shape and thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Add the Sauce

    Spread the organic crushed tomatoes evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Tear the hand-stretched mozzarella into chunks and distribute it evenly over the tomato sauce.

  5. 5

    Season

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the cheese to enhance the flavor.

  6. 6

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  7. 7

    Add Prosciutto and Arugula

    Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately layer the La Quercia prosciutto slices on top, followed by the fresh arugula.

  8. 8

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Finish by drizzling extra virgin olive oil over the top of the pizza.

  9. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Let the pizza cool for a minute, then slice and serve hot.
