Ingredients

1 raw pizza base
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

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have a pizza stone, place it inside to heat up for a crispier crust.
Step 2: Roll out the pizza dough as thinly as possible into a rectangle or oval on a silicone mat or parchment paper, keeping the thickness even for uniform cooking.
Step 3: Spread fig preserves evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, then scatter torn prosciutto slices and finish with crumbled goat cheese.
Step 4: Transfer the pizza (with the mat or parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake for 7-9 minutes until the cheese bubbles and turns golden brown.
Step 5: Remove the pizza from the oven carefully and let it cool a few minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy your flavorful creation.

Tips & Variations

Use a pizza peel or inverted baking sheet to easily transfer the pizza onto the stone.
Substitute prosciutto with thinly sliced ham or bacon for a different savory touch.
Add fresh arugula or basil leaves after baking for a peppery freshness.
If fig preserves are too sweet, try mixing in a little balsamic vinegar for balance.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a hot oven or toaster oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent a soggy crust.

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.
