Pizza Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Pizza Dough
If using store-bought dough, follow package instructions for preparation. If making from scratch, prepare your dough and let it rise according to your recipe until doubled in size.
- 2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F) or the highest setting available, ideally with a pizza stone inside for best results.
- 3
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a 16-inch circle. Ensure the crust is slightly thicker at the edges for a better rise.
- 4
Add the Cheese
Spread the mozzarella cheese evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 5
Bake the Pizza
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- 6
Add Prosciutto
Once the pizza is out of the oven, layer the prosciutto crudo evenly across the top while the pizza is still hot.
- 7
Top with Arugula
Add the fresh arugula on top of the prosciutto, ensuring it covers the pizza generously.
- 8
Finish with Cheese and Basil
Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmigiano Reggiano over the arugula. Then scatter the fresh basil leaves on top.
- 9
Drizzle with Olive Oil
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the pizza and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Slice and Serve
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately, enjoying the indulgent combination of flavors.
