Ingredients
Scale
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 so it becomes nice and hot, which will help achieve a crispy crust.
- Prepare the Pizza Base: Roll out your pizza dough as thinly as you can into a rectangle or oval shape on a silicone mat or parchment paper. Make sure the dough is rolled to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Add Toppings: Evenly spread fig jam all over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Next, sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over the jam. Scatter the torn prosciutto slices on top, and finish with the crumbled goat cheese for enhanced flavor.
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza along with the silicone mat or parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake for 7-9 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and has a golden brown color on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven once cooked. Let it cool for a few minutes to allow the toppings to settle, making it easier to slice. Cut into pieces and serve your delicious fig jam pizza!
Notes
- Using a pizza stone preheated in the oven ensures the crust becomes crispier.
- If you don’t have a pizza stone, you can bake on a baking sheet but preheating it is recommended.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of goat cheese and prosciutto to your taste.
- Let the pizza rest briefly after baking to avoid burning your mouth and to help toppings set.
- For a vegan version, substitute mozzarella and goat cheese with plant-based cheese alternatives and replace prosciutto with smoked tofu or mushrooms.
