Arugula Salami Pizza Recipe

4.5 from 104 reviews

This Arugula Salami Pizza offers a delightful combination of crispy baked pizza dough topped with savory slices of salami, melted cheese, and fresh, peppery arugula for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 ball of pizza dough (about 250g)

Toppings

  • 100g sliced salami
  • 150g shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups fresh arugula (about 40g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Dough: Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle, then place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
  2. Add Toppings: Spread the shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough. Arrange the salami slices on top of the cheese layer.
  3. Bake the Pizza: Place the prepared pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  4. Add Fresh Arugula: Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately top with fresh arugula. The residual heat will slightly wilt the arugula without losing its peppery crunch.
  5. Serve: Slice and serve warm to enjoy the perfect contrast of hot, savory pizza and fresh, vibrant greens.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, preheat a pizza stone or cast-iron skillet before baking.
  • Feel free to drizzle with olive oil or add a squeeze of lemon over the arugula before serving for extra flavor.
  • To make it spicier, add red pepper flakes or use spicy salami.
