Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 raw pizza base
Toppings
- 2/3 cup fig preserves
- 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 3–4 slices prosciutto, torn into smaller bits
- 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have a pizza stone, place it inside to heat up; this ensures a crispier crust for your pizza.
- Prepare the Pizza Base: Roll out your pizza dough thinly into a rectangle or oval shape on a silicone mat or parchment paper, making sure the thickness is even to promote uniform baking.
- Add Toppings: Spread fig jam evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese on top, then scatter torn prosciutto slices evenly. Finish with crumbled goat cheese for an added flavorful touch.
- Bake the Pizza: Transfer the pizza along with the silicone mat or parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to let the toppings set. Slice and serve your delicious fig jam pizza immediately.
Notes
- Using a pizza stone helps achieve a crispier crust but is optional.
- Adjust baking time slightly if your oven runs hot or cool.
- For thinner crust, roll the dough out as thinly as possible without tearing.
- Substitute prosciutto with other cured meats if desired.
- Use fresh figs if fig preserves are unavailable, but cooking time might increase.
