Craving the comforting flavors of Italy? This simple homemade pizza recipe will transport you straight to a cozy Italian trattoria. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, the crust forms the ideal base for rich tomato salsa, creamy mozzarella, and the peppery freshness of arugula.
Not only is this pizza vegetarian, but it’s also endlessly versatile—you can stick to the classic toppings here or get creative by adding your favorite ingredients, like olives, artichokes, or mushrooms. With just a few high-quality Italian pantry staples, you can create a restaurant-worthy pizza in your own kitchen. Plus, the process is easy and satisfying, from kneading the dough to pulling that golden pie out of the oven.

Ingredients
-
1 pack Pizza Dough by Molino Rossetto
-
½ bottle Cherry Tomato Sauce by Frantoi Cutrera
-
Dried Tomatoes by Cutrera
-
½ lb Fresh Mozzarella, torn into pieces
-
4 tbsp Garlic EVOO by Cutrera
-
A few handfuls of fresh arugula
-
Salt to taste
Directions
Begin by dissolving the yeast sachet in lukewarm water. Add the Molino Rossetto flour mix and 6.5 oz of lukewarm water. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth, then cover it with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for 1.5 hours.
Once the dough has doubled in size, flatten it out to your desired thickness and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Spread the tomato salsa evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Top with torn mozzarella pieces, dried tomatoes, and a drizzle of garlic EVOO. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Bake in a preheated oven at 430°F (220°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top it with fresh arugula for a burst of color and flavor. Drizzle a little extra EVOO over the top for that final touch of Italian magic.
