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 the oven during preheating 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 rectangular or oval shape on a silicone mat or parchment paper. Ensure an even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Add Toppings: Spread the fig preserves evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over the fig jam, scatter torn prosciutto slices on top, and finish with crumbled goat cheese for added flavor.
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza, along with the silicone mat or parchment paper, onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and has a golden brown color.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven with care. Let it cool for a few minutes to allow the toppings to settle and make slicing easier. Cut into pieces and enjoy your delicious fig jam pizza.
Notes
- Using a pizza stone helps achieve a crispier crust but is optional.
- Be sure to roll the dough evenly for consistent cooking.
- Adjust the amount of prosciutto based on your preference for saltiness.
- Letting the pizza cool slightly improves slicing and presentation.
