For the pizza dough
11/4 cups warm water
2 tsp. active dry yeast
1 Tbs. honey
15 oz. (31/4 cups) all-purpose flour
11/4 oz. (1/4 cup) whole-wheat flour
1 Tbs. salt
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
For the pizza toppings
1 clove garlic, minced fine
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 lb. mozzarella (preferably
fresh), cut into large cubes
8 thin slices prosciutto
(about 4 oz.)
For the salad
6 oz. arugula (about 7 cups,
loosely packed), washed and
tough stems removed
6 very thin slices red onion
6 sun-dried tomatoes, diced
(if not packed in oil, rehydrate
first)
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
When the pizza comes out of the oven, it’s topped with a salad of arugula,
sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, balsamic vinegar, and extra-virgin olive oil.
This salad is also great on its own.

a stand mixer. Allow to sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining
