===========

  • prep time: 10 Minutes (not including letting dough rest)
  • cook time: 15-20 minutes
  • total time: Around half hour

Servings: 2-4

Ingredients:

  • 1 fresh pizza dough (I got mine from Capri Bakery in Maple Ridge and it was EXCELLENT)

  • Italian Seasoning
  • 1 shallot, diced
  • Cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • Red onion, sliced
  • Arugula
  • Prosciutto
  • Basil
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  1. If the dough is frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight
  2. A couple of hours before prepping your pizza leave the dough at room temperature
  3. Allow the dough to double and then add some shortening or margarine into your large pan/cookie sheet or round pan
  4. Reverse the bag and let the dough drop onto the pan
  5. Spread the dough out as much as you can without ripping it
  6. Once you have stretched it as much as you can, let it rest for 30 minutes
  7. While it is resting, make your pizza sauce by mixing the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, shallot, salt, and pepper, tasting to ensure a good flavor combination
  8. Stretch the dough all the way and then top with pizza sauce, tomatoes, and sliced onions
  9. Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes
  10. With 10 minutes remaining top with fresh mozzarella cheese and proscuitto
  11. To add some nice crispy brown edges, coat the crust with olive oil and then broil for 1-2 minutes at the end to brown (watching carefully to ensure it doesn't burn)
  12. Top with fresh basil and arugula and serve with chili flakes and parmesan cheese
