Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 store-bought or homemade pizza dough (enough for one 12-inch pizza)

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup fig jam (smooth, high-quality)
  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
  • Handful of fresh arugula or basil leaves (optional)

Finishing Touches

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, for drizzling
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to your preferred thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
  2. Spread the fig jam: Evenly spread a generous layer of fig jam over the dough surface, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  3. Add the goat cheese: Dot the pizza with crumbled goat cheese evenly, ensuring each bite has a creamy flavor burst.
  4. Bake the pizza: Place the pizza into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese softens and starts to melt.
  5. Add prosciutto and finishing touches: Remove pizza from oven and layer thin slices of prosciutto on top. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cracked black pepper. Add fresh arugula or basil if desired. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Let goat cheese come to room temperature before crumbling for easier distribution and better melting.
  • Do not overload toppings to keep the crust crispy rather than soggy.
  • Use a pizza stone or baking steel for professional-quality crunch.
  • Add prosciutto only after baking to preserve its delicate texture and flavor.
  • Use unsweetened fig jam or adjust quantity to control sweetness.
