By á-174942

Ingredients

• 1/4 recipe Master Pizza Dough (see recipe)
• Cornmeal for sprinkling
• 8 slices fresh mozzarella - (each abt 1/4" thick and 1 1/2" in diameter)
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/2 cup fresh arugula - (very firmly packed)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven with pizza stone in it to 525 degrees. Shape a pizza, and let it rise a second time.

When ready to cook, sprinkle a pizza peel with cornmeal. Carefully place the pizza on the paddle. Inside the rim, arrange the mozzarella slices evenly. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon of the coarse salt.

Sprinkle cornmeal on pizza stone in oven. Slide pizza onto pizza stone. Bake 6 minutes. (If a softer crust is desired, dab rim with moistened brush after 3 minutes, and then cook 3 minutes more.)

Remove, and immediately scatter the arugula on the cheese. Sprinkle on the remaining 1/8 teaspoon of coarse salt. Drizzle oil over all and serve immediately.
