Ingredients
  

  • 1 ball prepared pizza dough (OR 4 whole pita rounds or prepared naan)
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 oz sweet onions (sliced into half moons)
  • 3 oz. prosciutto
  • 2 cups arugula leaves (plus extra for garnish)
  • 8 oz. mozzarella balls
  • black pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Caramelize onions by heating 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Heat, stirring often, for 30-40 minutes or until the onions are deeply caramelized. Add a tablespoon of water to the pan occasionally if the onions are sticking to the bottom.
  • Preheat the oven to 500°F. Grease a sheet pan with one tablespoon of olive oil.
  • If using pizza dough, stretch it into 4 small pizzas or one large pizza and place it on the oiled pan. Oil the crust with the remaining olive oil.
  • If using naan or pita bread, place them on the pan and brush the bread with the remaining oil.
  • Spread the caramelized onions over the dough or bread and sprinkle the onions with arugula.
  • Peel the sliced prosciutto from the package and arrange small bundles of it over the arugula.
  • Tear the mozzarella into small pieces and place over the pizzas. Sprinkle the pizzas with black pepper.
  • Bake the pizzas for about 10 minutes, checking after 8 minutes. Broil the pizzas if desired.
  • Sprinkle with additional arugula leaves and serve.
