300 ml of warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
seasoning
250g buffalo mozzarella or fior di latte
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
250 grams of cherry tomatoes

Preparation

Melt in a glass with warm water available to half the crumbled fresh yeast (or granular dry bag) and sugar, stirring and letting it rest for 5 minutes. Melt in a glass with warm water available to the rest of the salt and stir.

In a large bowl (or in a mixing machine with dough hook), work the flour with the yeast mixture (water + yeast and sugar), salt (water + salt) and oil, stirring until dough is smooth, elastic and free of lumps.
Put the dough in a large bowl lightly brushed with oil on the bottom and sealed the container with plastic wrap. Let rise the dough for at least 2 hours in a place away from drafts.


When the pizza dough has reached twice the initial volume divide it into 2 parts (for 2 pizzas to be put in trays of 32 cm in diameter) and roll out the dough with your fingers lightly oiled (not with a rolling pin), leaving a edge / ledge about 1 cm high and 1/2.
To ensure that the pizza ("white" in this time of cooking) is too dry, sprinkle the dough with both pizzas (except the eaves) with a mixture of water and oil, you will need ½ cup of water with 2 tablespoons of oil. Bake the pizza for 8 minutes, sprinkle with diced mozzarella and put back in the oven for another 2 minutes.
Remove from the oven pizza, toss with arugula, cherry tomatoes cut in half, oil, salt, ham slices and serve immediately.
