Tomato, mozzarella and arugula pizza
A homemade pizza with a slow-risen dough, topped with a garlic and onion tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fresh rocket after baking.
Pizza is very versatile; you can adapt the toppings to the season. A dough that rises for a long time results in a lighter texture.
