Arugula and Creamy Cheese Pizzas with Walnuts

 

Ingredients

 

Serve 6-8

  • 2 quantities Pizza Dough (refer recipe)

  • 10 oz/300 g cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced

  • 7 oz/200 g fresh creamy cheese (Robiola, goat's cheese, cream cheese)

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

  • salt to taste

  • 1 bunch arugula/rocket

  • about 20 walnuts, coarsely chopped

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar


Method:

  1. Prepare the pizza dough and set aside to rise. Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C/gas 7.

  2. Oil a large baking sheet. When the rising time has elapsed, divide the dough into 16 pieces and shape into balls. Roll the dough balls out on a lightly floured surface into rounds.

  3. Transfer the rounds to the prepared baking sheets, placing them well apart. Let rise for 15 minutes.

  4. Arrange the tomatoes on the pizzas. Spoon some of the cheese over each one, drizzle with the oil, and season with salt.

  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden. Wash and dry the arugula and shred finely.

  6. Place the arugula and walnuts on top. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and serve warm.
