How to make Arugula and Mushroom Pizza
For the dough
- Step 1
In a bowl, place the flour. Add the yeast and sugar in the center, then add the salt and vinegar. Gradually add the necessary amount of warm water to combine the ingredients until you achieve a dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Step 2
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, adding a little more flour if necessary.
- Step 3
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest for an hour or until it doubles in size.
- Step 4
Once the dough has risen, knead it lightly again, then roll it out and shape it into a circle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
- Step 5
Place the pizza dough on a baking tray that has been lightly brushed with oil. Spread the tomato sauce mixed with the ketchup evenly over the dough.
For the topping
- Step 1
Distribute the mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes, over the tomato sauce. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic.
- Step 2
Season with salt, black pepper, oregano, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Step 3
Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 220°C (430°F) for about 15 minutes.
For the arugula
- Step 1
In a bowl, toss the washed arugula leaves with a bit of vinaigrette sauce.

Tips & Tricks

Make sure to wash and dry the arugula thoroughly to avoid excess moisture on the pizza.
For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before baking.
