Preparation

1. 1.
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
2. 2.
   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
3. 3.
   Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F). Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle.
4. 4.
   Transfer the dough circles to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top each pizza with the fresh mozzarella and prosciutto.
5. 5.
   Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. 6.
   Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top with arugula, shaved Parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
7. 7.
   Slice and serve the haute cuisine New York-style pizzas immediately.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Fresh mozzarella — Use the highest quality mozzarella you can find for the best flavor and texture.
• Prosciutto — Opt for thinly sliced prosciutto for a delicate and elegant touch to the pizza.
• Arugula — Wash and dry the arugula thoroughly before using it as a topping to ensure freshness.
• Parmesan cheese — Shave the Parmesan cheese just before serving to preserve its distinct flavor.
• Balsamic glaze — Drizzle the balsamic glaze lightly over the pizza for a tangy and sweet finish.

Tips & Tricks

• For a crispier crust, preheat a pizza stone in the oven and bake the pizzas directly on the stone.
• Experiment with different toppings such as truffle oil, caramelized onions, or wild mushrooms to add a touch of luxury to your haute cuisine pizza.
• If you prefer a more intense flavor, brush the crust with garlic-infused olive oil before baking.
• To achieve a perfectly thin crust, roll out the dough as thinly as possible without tearing it.
• Serve the pizza on a wooden board or a sleek platter to enhance the presentation.
