Called bianca, or "white," because they are sauceless, these crispy pizzas are the essence of clean flavor. The toppings are added after the crusts come out of the oven, melting the cheese slightly. This recipe makes two round pizzas or four rectangular ones.

Ingredients

2 10-ounce cans refrigerated pizza dough
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
16 thin slices prosciutto (about 6 ounces)
2 cups (packed) arugula leaves
2 cups fresh Parmesan shavings (about 4 ounces)

    Preheat oven to 500°F. Flour 2 large baking sheets. Unroll each pizza dough on work surface.

    Step 2

    Cut corners off dough, forming total of two 10-inch rounds.

  3. To make rectangular pizzas:

    Step 3

    Cut each crosswise in half to make total of four 8x5-inch rectangles.
