Cook Along

1 Start the dough

Remove the dough from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Evenly coat each tray with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add one dough to each prepared tray and flip to thoroughly coat. Using your hands, spread the dough to the edges of the trays, maintaining an even thickness (if the dough is resistant, let rest 5 minutes). Evenly prick the dough with a fork. Bake, uncovered, 10 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Carefully flip the partially baked dough and lightly press down.

2 Assemble & bake the pizzas

Leaving a border around the edges, carefully spread the pesto onto the dough in an even layer. Evenly top with the mozzarella (tearing into small pieces before adding) and roasted peppers; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil if desired. Return to the oven and bake 15 to 17 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 2 minutes.

3 Make the salad & serve your dish

Meanwhile, wash and dry the arugula. In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, oregano, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, add the arugula, pickled peppers, and almonds. Toss to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Top the baked pizzas with the parmesan. Cut into equal-sized pieces. Serve the finished pizzas with the salad on the side. Enjoy!
