White Clam Pizza
- 3 large cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 pound refrigerated pizza dough
- All-purpose flour, for kneading
- Cornmeal, for dusting
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
- 2 6 .5-ounce cans chopped clams, juice drained and reserved
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups baby arugula
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Red pepper flakes, for garnish (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
- Place a pizza stone or inverted rimmed baking sheet on the bottom rack.
- Mix the garlic and 1/4 cup olive oil in a small bowl.
- Knead the dough about 6 times on a lightly floured surface.
- Roll and stretch into a 12-inch round.
- Place the dough on a pizza peel, or another inverted baking sheet, dusted with cornmeal.
- Brush half of the garlic-oil over the dough; season with salt.
- Scatter the mozzarella and clams over the crust; drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the reserved clam juice and the remaining garlic-oil.
- Sprinkle with the oregano, parmesan, and salt to taste.
- Slip the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet (the cornmeal will help it slide off).
- Bake until the crust is light brown, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Just before the pizza is done, drizzle the arugula with olive oil and lemon juice.
- Slice the pizza; top each piece with arugula and season with red pepper flakes, if desired.
