Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball Pre-made pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 pieces Fresh figs
- 150 grams Taleggio cheese
- 100 grams Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Arugula
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a roughly 12-inch circle or oval.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper to make it easier to transfer to the oven.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.
Slice the fresh figs into thin rounds and set aside.
Cut the Taleggio cheese and fresh mozzarella into small pieces for easier melting.
Evenly distribute the Taleggio and mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by the sliced figs.
Season the pizza with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Scatter the arugula over the top of the pizza, then drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness.
Slice and serve immediately for a perfect blend of savory, sweet, and fresh flavors!
