Fig-Prosciutto Pizza with Arugula
I've never had this type of pizza with mozzarella - something to try next time!
|
Pizza dough (of your choice)
2 tablespoons olive oil Kosher salt 6 to 8 tablespoons fig spread or jam 12 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced thin Freshly ground black pepper 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto 1 bunch washed and rinsed arugula 1 cup shaved Parmesan |
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Arrange the oven rack in the lowest position.
For the topping: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface as thinly as possible Dough should be roughly 17 by 10 inches. Place on a large baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with the olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Spread the fig spread all over the surface of the dough. Lay the slices of mozzarella all over the surface of the pizza crust. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake the pizza until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately drape the prosciutto slices over the hot pizza. Sprinkle generously with the arugula and Parmesan shavings. Cut into wedges or squares and serve immediately! |
