Ingredients

1 pound pizza dough, room temperature
1/2 cup tomato sauce
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
2 cups arugula
1 cup cantaloupe or honeydew melon, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside.
Divide dough into 2 balls. On floured surface, stretch each into a 10-inch round.
Spread tomato sauce evenly over each round, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with mozzarella slices.
Transfer pizzas to hot stone or sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until crust golden and cheese bubbly.
Remove from oven. Immediately top with prosciutto, arugula, and melon slices.
Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and finish with balsamic glaze if desired. Serve warm.

Tips

For best flavor, use ripe, sweet melon.
Add prosciutto after baking to keep it from overcooking.
Substitute arugula with basil if preferred.
