  • recipe at right)
  • All-purpose flour for dusting
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 1/2 oz. mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 6 oz. arugula
  • 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto (about 4 large
  • slices)
  • 1 oz. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, shaved with
  • a vegetable peeler

Instructions

  • Let the pizza dough stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat an Ooni pizza oven according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Let the pizza stone heat to 750°F (399°C), about 10 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out and stretch the pizza dough into a 15-inch (35-cm) round or an oval of roughly similar size. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured pizza peel. Spread the pizza sauce evenly on the dough, leaving a 1-inch (2.5-cm) border uncovered, then sprinkle the sauce with the mozzarella. Brush the crust lightly with olive oil. In a bowl, toss together the arugula, Parmesan and the 1 Tbs. olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
  • Using the pizza peel, transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling, about 1 minute.
  • Using the pizza peel, transfer the pizza to a cutting board. Top with the prosciutto and arugula and sprinkle generously with red pepper flakes. Cut into slices and serve immediately. Serves 2 to 4.
