Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 uncooked pizza base
Toppings
- 2/3 cup fig preserve
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3–4 slices prosciutto, torn into small pieces
- 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have a pizza stone, place it inside the oven while it preheats to help ensure a crisp and perfectly cooked crust.
- Prepare the Pizza Base: Roll out your pizza dough as thinly as possible, forming it into a rectangle or oval shape. Do this on a silicone mat or a piece of parchment paper to make transferring the pizza to the oven easier. Try to achieve an even and thin base for the toppings.
- Add Toppings: Spread fig jam evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly across the dough, then scatter the torn prosciutto pieces on top. Finish by adding the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the pizza surface.
- Cook the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza with the silicone mat or parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake in the oven for 7-9 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and turns golden brown. Keep an eye on the pizza to prevent burning.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly. Cut into desired portions and serve immediately to enjoy the blend of sweet, creamy, and savory flavors.
Notes
- Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust, but a baking sheet works if unavailable.
- Adjust the amount of fig preserve based on your sweetness preference.
- For extra flavor, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking.
- Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing to prevent toppings from sliding off.
- Leftover pizza can be stored refrigerated and reheated in an oven or toaster oven for best texture.
