pizza pizza

Pizzas are perfect because you can top them with just about anything and when you make them at home you can really go to town making it exactly how you want. I like my pizza to have thin crust and no red sauce (although i'm a-okay with tomato sauce if it's take-out and loaded with toppings) but I definitely do not want sauce getting in my way of prosciutto and arugula...and garlic-y olive oil-y crust..


What I used:
Trader Joe's pizza dough
Mozzarella cheese (in a ball, then sliced)
Garlic
Olive Oil
Prosciutto
Arugula

How to make it:
Prepare dough as directed (remove from bag, let rest on floured work surface for 30-40 minutes)--
OR make your own
Preheat oven to 500 degrees
Chop garlic and slice mozzarella
Once dough has rested, add more flour to work surface and dough (flip to make sure it's all covered or it may stick) and use a floured rolling pin to roll out dough as thinly as desired.
Carefully move dough to a lightly oiled baking sheet and top with olive oil and garlic (rub it all over with your hands) then mozzarella
Bake in the oven until crust looks almost done, then slide pizza off of baking sheet and directly onto rack to finish baking--this is the only way I am able to get the crust crispy on the bottom
Once out of the oven, top with prosciutto and arugula and drizzle with olive oil
