Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza Recipe

I’m sure all of us have been hunkering down at home, looking for some comfort where we can find it. For myself, I have always liked the idea of cooking but usually not the actual chore of it. In these times, I am finding myself in the kitchen often, looking through cookbooks and pondering what else I should make. In the past, I found I had little time for cooking and found myself irritated that I had to waste my precious minutes preparing food for dinner. Now I see new enjoyment with rolling out the dough, cutting up the garlic into fine slivers, and the constant checking to make sure it doesn’t overcook.
I have my repertoire of recipes that I repeatedly make. Here is one of them, which my whole family likes, even my picky 15 year old. I first had this pizza at Jackson’s Corner in Bend, Oregon. I thought the combination was unusual, but I was instantly smitten. I haven’t seen it on their menu since, but I think mine comes close to one I had there years ago. This is a recipe where you don’t need to measure the ingredients, and once you have made it, you will never need to look up the recipe again.
