Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

  2. 6

    Shape Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer to a floured surface. Roll it out to your desired thickness.

  3. 7

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet. Spread marinara sauce evenly over the surface and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

  4. 8

    Bake Pizza

    Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  5. 9

    Add Prosciutto and Arugula

    Once baked, remove pizza from the oven. Top with slices of prosciutto crudo and fresh arugula.
