Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, approx. 12-inch round)

Toppings

  • 6–8 fresh ripe figs, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz goat cheese, dolloped
  • 3–4 thin slices prosciutto
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, for drizzling
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly cracked, to taste

Finishing

  • 1–2 tbsp balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness, then transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone for easy handling.
  2. Pre-bake the crust: Bake the crust alone for about 8 minutes at 425°F (220°C) to ensure a crisp base before adding toppings. This step helps avoid a soggy pizza.
  3. Add the cheese and toppings: Spread dollops of goat cheese evenly over the pre-baked crust, then arrange sliced fresh figs and thin slices of prosciutto on top.
  4. Season and drizzle: Sprinkle fresh rosemary leaves, a pinch of salt, and cracked black pepper over the toppings. Drizzle with olive oil to enhance flavor and help ingredients meld during baking.
  5. Final bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese melts softly around the figs and prosciutto.
  6. Add balsamic glaze and serve: Once out of the oven, allow the pizza to cool slightly, then drizzle with balsamic glaze for a beautiful glossy finish and that final sweet-sour pop.

Notes

  • Use ripe figs: The natural sweetness is key, so pick soft, fragrant figs for best results.
  • Don’t overload toppings: Too many toppings can weigh down the crust and cause sogginess.
  • Opt for fresh herbs: Fresh rosemary gives a bright, fragrant flavor that dried herbs won’t match.
  • Use a pizza stone if possible: It ensures an evenly cooked, crispy crust every time.
  • Slice figs thinly: Thin slices cook better and melt seamlessly into the savory layers.
