Servings: persons

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 bay leaf, preferably fresh
1 dried red chile
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 ball pizza dough, thawed if frozen
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
About 3 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into bite-sized pieces
6 to 8 slices coppa, bresaola or prosciutto
A few handfuls of baby arugula

1
Preheat the oven to 550F.
2
In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
3
Add the vinegar, sugar, salt, bay leaf, and chile.
4
Add the onions, reduce the heat, and let simmer for 1 minute.
5
Remove the pan from the heat and let cool completely.
6
Shape the pizza crust as directed in the master recipe.
7
Brush the crust with the oil, leaving about a 1-inch border all around.
8
Scatter the mozzarella over the crust and lay the coppa over the cheese so the pieces overlap slightly.
9
Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake until the crust is nicely browned, 6 to 10 minutes.
10
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the arugula with as many onions as you like, letting the pickling liquid serve as a light dressing for the greens.
11
To serve, top the pizza with the arugula and onion salad.
