This Pizza with Pesto, Mozzarella, and Arugula Microgreens is a delicious, healthy microgreen pizza with toppings such as arugula microgreens, lemon pesto, fresh mozzarella, fresh cherry tomatoes and prosciutto. This pizza recipe includes the ingredients and directions for the actual pizza dough so that you can create a perfect homemade microgreens pizza from scratch!
To make Pizza with Pesto, Mozzarella, and Arugula Microgreens, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of active dry yeast, 1½ teaspoons of sea salt and 1¼ cups of water until a rough dough forms. If too rough, add another spoon of water.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside, at room temperature, for about 12-24 hours to rise or until more than doubled in volume.
Turn the risen dough out onto a well-floured surface. The dough should be loose and stretchy, soft yet a little bit sticky. Sprinkle some flour over and divide into 2 pieces. Roll into 2 balls and then, working one-by-one, stretch the dough away and together from your hands, a few times, working the dough. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the second ball. Flour your fingers, and then shape the dough into roughly round pizzas.
Add micro-arugula & lemon pesto, or any other fresh pesto, some fresh mozzarella, a few slices of fresh cherry tomatoes, prosciutto, and fresh pepper, if you wish.
Bake the pizza in a preheated oven on the highest temperature, about 500 °F for 10-15 minutes until the toppings look roasted cooked and the crust is golden.
Top with arugula microgreens, serve hot and enjoy.

I'm SCREAMING! This is the best pizza recipe EVER, never going to buy frozen pizza anymore, this was so flavourful and reminded me of the time I visited Italy, just amazing.
I added some sun dried tomatos to mine and oh man they increased the flavor 10x's over.
