Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually around 500°F or 260°C) for about 20–30 minutes.
Place your pizza stone (if using) on the middle rack to heat up with the oven. A preheated stone will give your crust a nice, crisp texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Pizza Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a thin, 12-inch circle.
Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle the minced garlic evenly (if you like a hint of garlic flavor).
Transfer the dough onto the pizza stone or baking sheet, then bake it in the preheated oven for about 8–10 minutes, or until it’s golden and crisp.
Step 3: Prepare the Carpaccio Topping
Lay out the beef carpaccio slices and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, toss the arugula with a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Thinly slice the red onion, and drain the capers.
Step 4: Assemble the Pizza Carpaccio
Once the pizza base is golden and crisp, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Layer the beef carpaccio slices over the pizza base, covering it evenly.
Scatter the arugula mixture, shaved Parmesan, capers, and red onion on top of the beef.
Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and add a touch more lemon juice if desired.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Slice your Pizza Carpaccio into wedges, and serve immediately.
This pizza is best enjoyed fresh, with the cold carpaccio contrasting beautifully against the warm, crispy crust.
