Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 teaspoon Yeast, dry

  • 0.75 teaspoons Sugar, white

  • 185 ml Water

  • 225 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 1 spoon Oil, olive

  • 200 g Cheese, mozzarella

  • 400 g Tomato, red

  • 2 spoons Pine nuts

  • 60 g Arugula

Steps

  1. In a small bowl, mix the yeast, water, and sugar. Stir until you get a smooth mixture without lumps. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface.

  2. Place the flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the yeast mixture into the well and sprinkle the salt around the flour. Start mixing the dough from the center outward using your fingers or a fork. Once about half of the flour is incorporated, slowly drizzle in the oil. When all the ingredients are well combined, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it becomes smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and make a cross on top. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.

  3. Preheat the oven to 230°C (446°F). Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Coarsely grate the mozzarella. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into four pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 14 cm in diameter. Place the circles on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.

  4. Spread the grated mozzarella over the dough circles (leaving a small border), and top with the cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the tomatoes with pesto, then add a bit of arugula to each pizza. Bake the prepared pizzas in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

Advice

If you add arugula to the pizzas at the beginning, it will crisp up and bake in the oven. You can also add it after taking the pizzas out of the oven if you prefer. Pesto can be bought or made at home.
