Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, typically about 1/2 inch thick for a crisp crust.
- If using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet. If not, place the dough onto a greased or parchment lined baking sheet.
- Brush olive oil evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges for the crust.
- Arrange the thinly sliced figs and red onion over the oiled dough.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the figs and onion.
- Season the pizza with salt and pepper to taste.
- If using a pizza stone, carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated stone in the oven. Otherwise, place the baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the pizza.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the top of the pizza just before slicing and serving.
Tips
- Consider adding a handful of arugula or some prosciutto for a twist. For a vegan version, replace the feta with a vegan cheese of your choice.
