Cuisine American
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1/2 cup dried figs chopped
- 3 ounces goat cheese not pre-crumbled
- 4 ounces prosciutto thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- olive oil
- 1/2 TBSP fresh thyme leaves
Hot Honey Drizzle
- 1/3 High quality honey
- 1/2 tsp dried red pepper flakes
- 1/4+ tsp cayenne pepper
Proof the pizza dough in a warm area for at least one hour. Be sure to test your dough’s proof before starting! To test your dough, gently begin stretching the dough. If it stays put, it’s done proofing. If the dough bounce back, allow it to continue resting for 30 more minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425 and drizzle a sheet tray with olive oil to coat the bottom.
Stretch the pizza dough onto the oiled tray. Top the dough with a drizzle of olive oil, the garlic powder and fresh thyme.
Top the dough with crumbled goat cheese, the chopped dried figs, and mozzarella cheese.
Tear each slice of prosciutto in half and curl. Place the curled pieces of prosciutto onto the top of the pizza.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the dough is browned and the cheese is bubbly.
Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes and then drizzle over the hot honey before serving.
Hot Honey
Warm the honey in a glass bowl in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. The honey will heat up quickly so be careful!
Add in the red pepper flake and cayenne pepper to the bowl of honey and mix together. Taste and adjust depending on how fiery you want your hot honey to be. Remember it will be combined with other flavors on the pizza, so the flavor will be toned down slightly. *NOTE: we like our hot honey really spicy. Be sure and taste the honey before adding it to your pizza! Always do what tastes best for your family. If you have any hot honey leftover, store at room temperature in an air tight container for future use.
