Gourmet Fig & Prosciutto Pizza

Savor the exquisite harmony of sweet and savory with our Gourmet Fig & Prosciutto Pizza. This delightful dish features a rich layer of fig jam that perfectly complements the salty, savory prosciutto and creamy mozzarella cheese, all on a golden, crispy crust. Topped with fresh peppery arugula and a luscious drizzle of balsamic glaze, this pizza is a culinary masterpiece that transforms any meal into a special occasion. Drawing inspiration from Italy's passion for combining contrasting flavors, this pizza is a celebration of gourmet ingredients that promise to tantalize your taste buds and elevate your dining experience.

Ingredients

Pizza dough
1 (store-bought or homemade)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Fig jam
1/2 cup
Mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups, shredded
Prosciutto
4 ounces, sliced
Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup, grated
Arugula
2 cups, fresh
Balsamic glaze
2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats to achieve an extra crispy crust.
  2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, aiming for a round shape approximately 12 inches in diameter.
  3. Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil using a pastry brush to create a beautifully golden crust.
  4. Spread the fig jam evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for a crust.
  5. Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the fig jam, ensuring an even coverage.
  6. Evenly arrange the prosciutto slices over the cheese, allowing some overlap for a decadent bite.
  7. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or onto the pizza stone if using. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  8. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  9. Top the pizza with fresh arugula, then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an added layer of flavor.
  10. Drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving to enhance the sweetness and depth of flavor. Slice and enjoy!

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicier kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking.
  • 💡 Try using goat cheese instead of mozzarella for a tangy twist.
  • 💡 To make your own balsamic glaze, simmer balsamic vinegar in a saucepan until reduced by half, then let it cool.
