Pizza Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough
  • 2 cups fresh arugula
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce.
  • Scatter the fresh arugula over the pizza. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Serving

  • Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes. Slice into 8 pieces and serve warm.

Storage

  • Wrap leftover pizza slices in aluminum foil or place in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place slices on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
