White Pizza with Prosciutto

Introduction

White Pizza with Prosciutto is a crowd-pleaser that brings a touch of elegance and an explosion of flavor to your dinner table. The creamy white sauce, crisp crust, gooey cheese, and savory ribbons of prosciutto strike a perfect balance between indulgence and refinement—making this pizza just as well-suited for pizza night as it is for entertaining guests.

Why You’ll Love White Pizza with Prosciutto

Unlike classic pizzas with red sauce, this white pizza highlights a rich garlic sauce, mellow cheeses, and the irresistible saltiness of prosciutto. Topped with fresh arugula or basil and a drizzle of good olive oil, every bite is creamy, crisp, and boldly flavorful. Its simplicity lets each ingredient shine—quick to assemble, endlessly customizable, and gourmet in taste.

Prepping the Ingredients

The prep work for this pizza is a breeze if you have the right tools. For slicing fresh garlic and prepping optional vegetables like red onion or baby spinach, a quality chopper like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper can save time and produce uniform results.

To keep your workspace neat while working with dough, cheese, and toppings, a set of Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 is both functional and attractive. This makes ingredient assembly so much easier!

If you’re shredding mozzarella or grating parmesan, do so ahead of time and store it in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) for easy access and less mess.

Crafting the Perfect White Pizza Base

Start with high-quality pizza dough, homemade or store-bought. Roll it out to your desired thickness—thin and crackly or a little more rustic and chewy. For an easy transfer and a crisp bottom, line your baking sheet or pizza stone with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet. This ensures a nonstick surface so you can slide your pizza off effortlessly.

The classic white pizza sauce combines olive oil, minced garlic, and a hint of salt. Spread a thin layer over your dough, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, dollops of ricotta, and shavings of parmesan.

Baking and Topping Your White Pizza

Preheat your oven to its highest setting—ideally 475–500°F. For extra crispiness, place your pizza stone or baking steel in the oven as it heats. Bake the pizza until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden and cooked through, 10–14 minutes depending on your oven.

Once out of the oven, drape thin slices of prosciutto over the piping hot cheese so it gently melts. For a fresh, peppery bite, top with a handful of arugula or fresh basil. Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil—if you prefer to use less oil, opt for an TrendPlain 16oz/470ml Olive Oil Sprayer for Cooking, Black to get an even, controlled mist.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your White Pizza with Prosciutto as a main dish with a lemony salad on the side, or slice it into smaller pieces for appetizers at your next gathering. Use a pizza cutter to create even slices and dish them up on a Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, White for effortless cleanup when feeding a crowd.

Pair with a crisp, chilled glass of white wine or sparkling water—and enjoy the sophistication and ease of this gourmet favorite!

Nutritional Information and Serving Size

One 12-inch pizza yields about 8 slices. Each slice contains approximately 220–280 calories, depending on your cheese and prosciutto amounts. For a lighter option, cut the pizza into 10–12 pieces and serve with a large green salad.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 500°F. Place a pizza stone or baking steel in the oven if you have one. Line a baking sheet or pizza peel with a piece from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy cleanup and transfer.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface (or your Bamboo Cutting Board) to about 12 inches round. Transfer to the prepared sheet or peel.
3. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Brush evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
4. Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the pizza. Dot with ricotta spoonfuls, and finish with the grated parmesan.
5. Add any optional toppings (like mushrooms or onions) you’ve prepped using your Mueller Pro-Series Vegetable Chopper.
6. Bake for 10–14 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
   (Tip: Use KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set to safely remove your piping hot pan!)
7. Remove from oven. Immediately lay prosciutto ribbons across the pizza. Top with arugula or fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil using your Olive Oil Sprayer. Season with black pepper.
8. Slice and serve warm.
