How to Make Prosciutto & Arugula Pizza

1. Prepare the Pizza Base

Spread the Pomì strained tomatoes evenly over the pizza crust using a spoon, leaving a border around the edges.

2. Add Olive Oil

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the tomato sauce.

3. Arrange Anchovies

Evenly arrange the anchovy fillets, each cut into 3 pieces, across the pizza.

4. Add Capers and Chile

Sprinkle the salt-packed capers and thinly sliced red finger chile over the pizza.

5. Top with Mozzarella

Scatter the shredded fresh mozzarella over the top.

6. Broil the Pizza

Place the pizza under the broiler and cook until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden.

Pitfalls and tips

Use a High-Quality Dough

Make your own dough using 00 flour and allow for a slow fermentation to deepen flavor and improve elasticity.

Preheat Oven and Stone/Steel

This is crucial for a crisp yet chewy crust. Preheat to the highest setting for at least an hour.

Prosciutto Quality and Timing

Choose high-quality, thinly sliced prosciutto and add it after baking to maintain its texture and flavor.

Finishing Touches

Drizzle high-quality extra-virgin olive oil and add shaved Parmesan or fresh pepper before serving.

Dress Arugula Lightly

Enhance arugula with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt just before topping the pizza.
