Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Cornmeal (for sprinkling)
1 1-pound package purchased pizza dough
2 cups (generous) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 8 ounces)
6 small fresh figs, cut into 1/4- to 1/3-inch-thick slices
2 tablespoons fig balsamic vinegar, divided
8 thin slices prosciutto (from two 3-ounce packages)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups arugula

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle large rimless baking sheet generously with cornmeal. Roll out dough on floured work surface to 12x10-inch rectangle; transfer to prepared sheet. Sprinkle Gorgonzola over dough. Sprinkle with pepper. Place figs in medium bowl; drizzle 1 tablespoon vinegar over. Set aside.
  • Bake pizza until crust is golden brown on bottom, 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately drape prosciutto slices over, covering pizza completely. Arrange fig slices atop prosciutto. Bake until figs are just heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer pizza to cutting board. Whisk remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and oil in large bowl; add arugula. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Mound salad atop pizza. Cut into pieces and serve.

This pizza was a disaster! The crust was raw and the toppings were burnt.

The pizza was a bit soggy in the middle. I think I cooked it at too low of a temperature.

I found that the prosciutto was a bit too salty for my taste. Next time I'll use less of it.

I added some caramelized onions to my pizza and it was delicious! I highly recommend trying this variation.

I'm not usually a fan of figs, but I loved them on this pizza. The sweetness of the figs balanced out the saltiness of the prosciutto and gorgonzola.

This pizza was a hit with my family! The combination of sweet figs, salty prosciutto, and tangy gorgonzola was perfect. The balsamic vinegar and arugula added a nice finishing touch.
