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 in the oven while it preheats to ensure it becomes hot, which helps achieve a crispy crust.
- Prepare the Pizza Base: Roll out your pizza dough as thinly as possible into a rectangle or oval shape on a silicone mat or parchment paper. Aim for an even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Add Toppings: Evenly spread the fig jam all over the rolled-out dough, leaving a half-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over the fig jam, scatter the torn prosciutto pieces on top, and finish by adding crumbled goat cheese for extra flavor.
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the prepared pizza, still on the silicone mat or parchment paper, onto the preheated pizza stone in the oven. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to allow the toppings to settle. Slice and serve your flavorful fig jam pizza warm.
Notes
- Using a pizza stone preheated in the oven helps achieve a crispier crust.
- Rolling the dough thin ensures even cooking and a crispy base.
- Use fresh fig preserves for the best flavor.
- Letting the pizza cool slightly before slicing prevents the toppings from sliding.
- This pizza pairs well with a simple green salad or light red wine.
