Ingredients
Makes 2 personal-sized pizzas
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
- 8 oz shaved parmesan cheese
- 5 oz fresh arugula
- Kosher salt
- 2 rounds fresh pizza dough
- Optional: Balsamic glaze to finish
Directions
- Heat your oven to 500°F. If you’re using a pizza stone, allow the stone to heat up in the oven for 30 minutes before baking on it.
- Stretch out your dough onto a pizza peel dusted with flour. If you don’t have a peel and stone, use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Oil the parchment with a little olive oil so your pizza doesn’t stick.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the crushed tomatoes on top of the stretched out dough.
- Sprinkle half the sliced garlic on top of the tomatoes
- Season with the salt and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Slide your pizza into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with shavings of parmesan cheese and fresh arugula.
- Optional: Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze to finish.
