Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour and 1 tsp of yeast.
2. Gradually add 1 cup of water while mixing until a dough forms. You might not need the entire cup of water; add just enough for the dough to come together.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a baking stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
1. While the dough is rising, prepare your toppings. Rinse the arugula and pat it dry.
2. In a small bowl, toss the arugula with 1 tbsp of lemon juice and set aside.
1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round pizza crust, about 12 inches in diameter.
3. Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper or a pizza peel dusted with flour for easy transfer to the oven.
1. Spread 1/2 cup of hummus evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
2. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the hummus.
3. Tear the 3 slices of prosciutto into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly across the pizza.
1. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven. If using a baking stone, slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the stone.
2. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
1. Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately top it with the lemony arugula.
2. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil.
1. Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
2. Slice the pizza into wedges, serve, and enjoy your delicious Prosciutto and Rocket Pizza!
Tips:
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza base for 5-7 minutes before adding the toppings.
- Use good quality prosciutto for the best flavor.
- Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve an evenly cooked and deliciously crispy pizza.
- For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the pizza before serving.
- Adjust the lemon juice in the arugula according to your taste preference.
