Prepare pizza dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C).

Roll out the dough into a long rectangle on a floured surface.

Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the surface with olive oil.

Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.

Add sliced prosciutto and cherry tomatoes evenly across the pizza.

Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and oregano to taste.

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing.

Top with fresh arugula, red onion, and olives.

Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
