This Prosciutto Fig Pizza is sure to impress. The crust is so easy because you don’t have to wait for it to rise. The layers of flavor in this pizza are incredible too. Nothing goes with fig or prosciutto quite like goat cheese. Topping this whole thing off with arugula gives it an added texture, plus it makes the whole thing seem a little healthier!
To make the pizza crust:
Combine flour, salt, sugar and yeast in food processor.
Mix in oil and warm water. Allow to process until it pulls away from sides. Spread onto a round pizza pan. Set aside.
Begin by chopping off the ends of the figs and then thinly slice them.
Finely dice the shallots.
Begin browning the prosciutto in olive oil.
Add the shallots.
Then add the sun dried tomatoes and figs.
Lightly brush olive oil onto the crust.
Next, layer the fig prosciutto mixture on top of crust.
Top that with goat cheese.
Stick it in a preheated, 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and top with arugula and parmesan.
Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze.
Enjoy!
