On a lightly floured surface, push/roll the dough out until it is pretty thin (about a 10-12 inch circle). Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Dollop with the remaining ricotta.4. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted. 5. Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. Whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the balsamic vinegar, and a pinch each of salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. 6. Remove the pizza from the oven, top with fresh arugula and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Garnish with basil and seeds. Slice and eat!
