Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb pizza dough, thawed if frozen
3/4 lb well-chilled Italian Fontina, any rind discarded
1 garlic clove, forced through a garlic press
1/4 lb loosely packed baby arugula (4 cups)
1/4 lb thinly sliced prosciutto
Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
Freshly ground black pepper
Special Equipment
a 17- by 14-inch sheet of parchment paper

Steps:

  • Put a large heavy baking sheet (17 by 14 inches) on lowest rack of oven, then preheat oven to 500°F.
  • Meanwhile, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, stretching corners with your hands to form a 16- by 13-inch rectangle. (Dough will be easier to roll out as it warms.) Transfer to a large tray lined with sheet of parchment paper. Lightly prick dough all over with a fork, then slide dough (on parchment) from tray onto hot baking sheet. Bake until top is puffed and pale golden in patches, 6 to 10 minutes. (Prick any large bubbles with a fork and flatten.)
  • While crust bakes, shred cheese in a food processor fitted with medium shredding disk (you should have 3 cups).
  • Remove crust from oven and brush all over with crushed garlic, then sprinkle evenly with cheese. Bake pizza until edge of crust is deep golden and cheese is bubbling and golden in patches, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, then scatter arugula over pizza and drape prosciutto over arugula. Drizzle with oil and coarsely grind pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pizza turned out burnt. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This pizza was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less prosciutto next time.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, so I left it off my pizza. It was still really good! The fontina cheese and prosciutto were a great combination, and the crust was cooked perfectly.

This pizza was easy to make and turned out great! I used store-bought pizza dough to save time, and the fontina, prosciutto, and arugula were all delicious together. I'll definitely be making this again.

I made this pizza last night and it was a hit! My family loved it. The crust was nice and crispy, and the toppings were all fresh and flavorful. The fontina cheese melted perfectly and the prosciutto added a nice salty flavor. I would definitely reco

This pizza was absolutely delicious! The fontina cheese was gooey and melted perfectly, the prosciutto was salty and savory, and the arugula added a nice peppery bite. The crust was crispy and flavorful, and the overall flavor combination was just pe
