Ingredients
3 cups arugula
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1/2 red onion, cut into thin slices
2 large ripe pears, cut into thin slices
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
Pinch of sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons rapid rise yeast
Step by step
To make the pizza dough, in a glass measuring cup or small bowl, combine yeast and 1 cup warm water. Add a pinch of sugar and let sit for 5 minutes.
In the bowl of a KitchenAid® Stand Mixer, add the flour and salt. Mix the ingredients until combined. Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Next, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Using the beater blade, mix until combined. Switch to the dough hook and knead for 5 minutes on medium speed or until dough is silky and smooth.
Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Form the dough into a ball and place in the bowl. Cover the pizza dough with a damp towel and set in the KitchenAid® Warming Drawer, set on the bread proof setting. Let the dough rise for 45-60 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.
Preheat the KitchenAid® Double Wall Oven to 500°F. Cut the dough in half. Take one piece of dough and punch it down on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a circle. Place the pizza on a KitchenAid® Thin Crust Pizza Pan. Roll out the other dough and place on another Thin Crust Pizza Pan. Top pizzas evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese, pear slices, and red onion slices.
Place the pizzas in the preheated Double Wall Oven, on the middle rack. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until pizza crust is golden and cheese is melted.
Remove the pizzas from the ovens and place prosciutto on top. To keep the pizzas warm, place pizzas in the Warming Drawer. When ready to serve, remove the pizzas and top with arugula. Cut into slices and enjoy.
