Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.

  2. Step 2

    On a floured surface, stretch the 1 lb pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with the 1 cup shredded mozzarella.

  4. Step 4

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots.

  5. Step 5

    In a bowl, toss the 2 cups arugula with the 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  6. Step 6

    Top the hot pizza with the dressed arugula and shave or sprinkle the 1/2 cup parmesan over the top. Slice and serve immediately.

  7. Step 7

    Optional: add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
