Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Dough and Base

  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour for dusting
  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or a neutral oil

Cheeses

  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese Fior di Latte (regular), buffalo, or shredded
  • ½ cup ricotta

Toppings

  • 2 oz prosciutto
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey

Instructions

  1. Let Dough Temper: Place the pizza dough on a lightly floured work surface and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to make it easier to stretch and handle.
  2. Preheat Oven: Position the oven rack in the middle tier and preheat your oven to 475°F (246°C) to ensure a hot, even cooking environment for the pizza.
  3. Prepare Pizza: Stretch or roll the dough by hand or with a rolling pin into a 12-inch circle or a 9×13-inch rectangle. Lightly oil a pizza pan or baking sheet, then place the shaped dough onto it. Evenly top the dough with mozzarella cheese and add dollops of ricotta across the surface.
  4. Bake Pizza: Bake the pizza on the middle rack for 10 to 12 minutes, until the mozzarella is golden, bubbly around the edges, and the crust bottom is lightly browned and crisp.
  5. Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with slices of prosciutto and fresh arugula. Cut the pizza into 8 slices and drizzle each slice evenly with the hot honey. Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the full blend of flavors.

Notes

  • Letting the dough rest at room temperature helps it stretch more easily and produces a better texture.
  • You can substitute the mozzarella with buffalo mozzarella for a richer flavor or use shredded mozzarella for convenience.
  • Hot honey adds a sweet and spicy kick that complements the salty prosciutto perfectly.
  • If you don’t have hot honey, you can mix honey with a pinch of chili flakes as a substitute.
  • Serve the pizza fresh from the oven to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
