This pasta is gourmet, yet very easy to make. It's most handy if you have a pizza peel and a pizza baking stone to build the pizza and then bake on.

Recipe type: Pizza
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 8 slices
Ingredients
  • 1 Pizza Dough recipe
  • Cornmeal (for dusting the pizza peel & baking stone)
  • Sliced Prosciutto
  • 1-2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons Honey
  • 4 ounces Goat Cheese
  • 5-6 Fresh Figs, sliced (stems removed)
  • Good Quality Balsamic Vinegar (for serving)
  • Red Pepper Flakes (for serving)
Preparation Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating the oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough into your desired shape and thickness, using your pizza stone as a guideline. If using a pizza peel, transfer it to the peel now. If using a pizza (baking) stone, move the dough to the pizza stone to start building your pizza.
  3. Brush 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over the surface of the pizza to create a base for the pizza.
  4. Then add a generous layer or crumbled goat cheese over the pizza followed by a layer of sliced figs. Then drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of honey over the whole pizza.
  5. Bake the pizza for 25-30 minutes or until the crust starts to turn golden brown, the figs begin to caramelize and the goat cheese browns just a little.
  6. Pull the pizza out of the oven and top with some prosciutto (however much you'd like) and additional goat cheese.
  7. Bake the pizza for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the prosciutto just starts to brown. Then remove from the oven, slice up the pizza and serve. When you serve drizzle some good quality balsamic vinegar over each slice and top with a few red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
