This is my new favorite kind of pizza. I love the version from Delfina here so this past weekend I tried to recreate it and really enjoyed the result. It’s a white pizza, which means that there is no tomato sauce.
Toppings:
Fresh mozzarella cheese (sliced directly on top of the dough)
Strips of smoked prosciutto
Lemon vinaigrette:
1 T olive oil
1/3 T vinegar
one squeeze of fresh lemon
salt and pepper
Toss the vinaigrette with the arugula while the pie is cooking and layer generously over the prosciutto when it comes out of the oven.
The combination of the prosciutto, lemon peppery arugula, and fresh mozzarella is really delicious. I love any kind of pizza with greens on top too. It tricks my psyche into thinking I’m eating salad. Growing up in NY we had this one pizza called salad pizza at our local pizzeria. I’m gonna try to recreate that next. Any new pizzas you’ve been enjoying lately?
