Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade)

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

6 fresh figs, sliced into rounds

3 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh arugula

1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Fresh rosemary, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up. If not, a baking sheet works fine as well.

    Prepare the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness—about 1/4 inch is ideal. Carefully transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper; this makes it easier to transfer to the oven.

      Spread the Ricotta: With the back of a spoon or a spatula, dollop the fresh ricotta cheese evenly over the dough, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust.

        Add Figs and Prosciutto: Beautifully arrange the sliced figs on top of the ricotta. Tear the prosciutto into smaller, bite-sized pieces and distribute these over the figs to ensure each slice gets a taste.

          Season: Drizzle the olive oil generously over the pizza toppings, then sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, enhancing the flavors beautifully.

            Bake the Pizza: Gently slide the pizza (while still on the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns a lovely golden brown and crispy.

              Finish with Toppings: Once the pizza is baked, carefully remove it from the oven. Immediately scatter the fresh arugula and crumbled goat cheese across the top. Drizzle honey and balsamic glaze generously over the finished pizza for a sweet and tangy kick.

                Garnish and Serve: For an extra aromatic touch, sprinkle freshly chopped rosemary over the pizza if desired. Slice into wedges and serve warm, allowing everyone to enjoy this delightful combination of flavors!
