Ingredients

Pizza Dough

  • 2-3 c flour
  • 1 c warm water
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 Tablespoon yeast

Garlic Alfredo Sauce

  • ½ c butter
  • ¾ c heavy whipping cream
  • 1 c freshly-grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ Tablespoon salt
  • ¼ Tablespoon pepper
  • Tablespoon freshly-grated nutmeg
  • 2 slices prosciutto chopped
  • ¼ yellow onion finely minced

Arugula Lemon Salad

  • 4 oz. prosciutto chopped
  • several handfuls arugula
  • juice of 1-2 lemons
  • ¼ c freshly-grated parmesan cheese
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare dough by combining 1 ½ c flour and remaining ingredients in mixer. Begin mixing dough, and slowly add flour ½ c at a time until dough is pulling away from sides of the bowl and has formed a ball. Continue to knead for about 5 minutes. It will be tacky. Cover with towel and let sit.
  • Make alfredo sauce. Add butter, cream, cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg into saucepan and heat on low/medium, stirring intermittently. Bring just to a simmer and then turn heat down to lowest setting to keep warm as it continues to thicken. Stir occasionally until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven (and pizza stone if you have it) to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle 1 t cornmeal on it if you have it. Roll dough out on counter with rolling pin and lay on parchment paper. Prick with fork all over. Bake 5 minutes and remove from oven.
  • Spread alfredo sauce, some of the chopped prosciutto, and minced onion over slightly-baked pizza crust and place back into oven. Bake another 10 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven.
  • Prepare arugula salad by mixing arugula with remaining chopped prosciutto, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Spread over hot pizza and top with parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
