Fig & Prosciutto Recipe

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Make Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Caramelize Onions

Slice the onion thinly and cook in a skillet over medium heat with a bit of olive oil until caramelized (about 20 minutes).

Prepare Figs

Slice fresh figs into quarters.

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Roll Out Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Assemble Pizza

Brush the rolled-out dough with garlic oil. Spread the caramelized onions evenly, followed by slices of prosciutto, figs, mozzarella, and crumbled blue cheese.

Bake Pizza

Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Prepare Arugula Salad

While the pizza is baking, toss arugula with lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

Serve

Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven, drizzle with balsamic reduction, and top with the dressed arugula before slicing and serving.
