Ingredients
  

1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

4 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced

1 cup baby arugula

Zest of 1 lemon

Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, ensure it is placed in the oven to heat up as well.

    Prepare the Pizza Dough: On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

      Make the White Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until smooth.

        Assemble the Pizza: Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

          Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone, if using). Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

            Add the Prosciutto: Once the pizza is out of the oven, immediately layer the thin slices of prosciutto over the hot cheese.

              Finish with Fresh Ingredients: Top with fresh arugula, a sprinkle of lemon zest, and freshly cracked black pepper before slicing.

                Serve: Slice the pizza and serve hot, garnished with additional arugula if desired.
