Ingredients
Scale
- 1 prepared pizza dough or store-bought crust
- ⅔ cup fig preserves or fig jam
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3–4 thin slices prosciutto, torn into bite-size pieces
- 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Heat the oven: Set your oven to 500°F so it gets nice and hot. If you’re using a pizza stone, slide it into the oven now so it heats up fully—this helps create a crisp, golden crust.
- Shape the dough: Roll or stretch the pizza dough into a thin oval or rectangle. Place it on parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to make transferring it to the oven quick and stress-free. Aim for an even thickness so the pizza bakes uniformly.
- Build the pizza: Spread the fig preserves gently over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly on top, then scatter the prosciutto pieces across the surface. Finish by dotting the pizza with crumbled goat cheese.
- Bake: Carefully move the pizza (with the parchment or mat) onto the hot pizza stone or baking surface. Bake for 7–9 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- Slice and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes so the cheese can settle. Slice, serve, and enjoy the irresistible sweet-and-savory combination while it’s hot and fresh.
