White Pizza with Prosciutto, Arugula
and Tomatoes
Makes one 12-inch (30 cm) pizza (8 servings)
1/3
recipe pizza dough (page 23)
1
tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil
1 - 1½ ounces (30-43 g) (about 4 to 6 slices) prosciutto, halved
3
medium garlic cloves, finely chopped, divided
1
cup (250 ml) halved grape tomatoes
2
cups (500 ml) packed arugula
1½
cups (375 ml) ricotta
½
cup (125 ml) grated Parmesan (about 2 ounces [60 g])
pinch sea or kosher salt
½
teaspoon (2 ml) freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the Cuisinart

Convection Toaster Oven Broiler to 425°F (220°C) on
the bake setting with the rack in position A.
Roll out dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle.* Brush the outer edge of the
dough with olive oil. Bake in preheated oven for about 6 to 8 minutes, or
until dough is lightly golden.
While dough is baking, preheat a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the prosciutto. Sauté until crisp; remove and reserve.
Add 2 of the garlic cloves to the hot pan. Sauté until fragrant, and then add
the tomatoes. When tomatoes just begin to soften, stir in the arugula, about
¼ cup at a time. Cook until the arugula is wilted; remove and reserve.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the ricotta, Parmesan, remaining garlic, salt
and pepper until well combined. Reserve.
Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the par-baked pizza dough. Top the
ricotta with the arugula mixture and then finish with the prosciutto. Bake
pizza in preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the dough is
nicely browned and the cheese is bubbling on top.
Remove the pizza from the oven. Cut into slices and serve immediately.
*Using a pizza mesh makes forming the perfect pizza much easier. If you
have one, it is advisable to spray it with nonstick cooking spray before
stretching dough.
