Ingredients
 
 

Pizza Dough

  • 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Tomato Sauce

  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Pizza Toppings

  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • chili flakes (optional, for spice lovers)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
  • In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the tomato sauce and season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions and roll them out into rounds, approximately 10 inches in diameter.
  • Remove the heated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and carefully transfer one pizza dough round onto it. Working quickly, brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Spread a generous amount of the tomato sauce over the oiled dough, ensuring an even distribution. Add arugula, black olives, kalamata olives, and prosciutto slices on top.
  • Carefully transfer the pizza back into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and crispy.
  • Once removed from the oven, drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza and garnish with fresh basil leaves. For those who enjoy a hint of spice, sprinkle some chili flakes on top.
  • Repeat steps 4-7 for the remaining 3 portions of pizza dough.
