Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 pound Basic Pizza Dough (page 364) or store-bought pizza dough, fresh or frozen (thawed)
Olive oil
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
3 cups baby arugula (2 ounces)
3 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese, shaved
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Divide dough into four equal pieces. Using your hands, stretch each piece into a 5-inch disk.

    Step 2

    Brush two rimless baking sheets with oil. Place disks of dough on baking sheets; brush dough lightly with oil. Using your hands, crush tomatoes in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spread tomatoes on dough; sprinkle with red-pepper flakes. Bake, rotating sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until crusts are golden, 18 to 20 minutes.

    Step 3

    Toss arugula with cheese; divide among pizzas. Drizzle with vinegar and oil.
