Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb pizza dough, thawed if frozen
3/4 lb well-chilled Italian Fontina, any rind discarded
1 garlic clove, forced through a garlic press
1/4 lb loosely packed baby arugula (4 cups)
1/4 lb thinly sliced prosciutto
Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
Freshly ground black pepper
Special Equipment
a 17- by 14-inch sheet of parchment paper

Steps:

  • Put a large heavy baking sheet (17 by 14 inches) on lowest rack of oven, then preheat oven to 500°F.
  • Meanwhile, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, stretching corners with your hands to form a 16- by 13-inch rectangle. (Dough will be easier to roll out as it warms.) Transfer to a large tray lined with sheet of parchment paper. Lightly prick dough all over with a fork, then slide dough (on parchment) from tray onto hot baking sheet. Bake until top is puffed and pale golden in patches, 6 to 10 minutes. (Prick any large bubbles with a fork and flatten.)
  • While crust bakes, shred cheese in a food processor fitted with medium shredding disk (you should have 3 cups).
  • Remove crust from oven and brush all over with crushed garlic, then sprinkle evenly with cheese. Bake pizza until edge of crust is deep golden and cheese is bubbling and golden in patches, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, then scatter arugula over pizza and drape prosciutto over arugula. Drizzle with oil and coarsely grind pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Pretty good. I would have liked it better with a bit more sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, but I still enjoyed this pizza. The fontina cheese is amazing.

It was okay. I think I would have liked it better with a different type of cheese.

I've made this pizza several times now and it's always a hit. The arugula adds a nice peppery flavor.

Pretty good. I used a pre-made crust to save time, and it still turned out great.

My family loved it! I was worried about the prosciutto making it too salty, bit it actually balanced out the sweetness of the figs.

This pizza was amazing! The crust was cooked to perfection. Fontina cheese is so tasty! Will definitely make this again.
