- 1 pound pizza dough room temperature
- Flour for dusting
- ¼ cup creme fraiche
- 8 ounces mozzarella roughly shredded or torn
- 4-6 slices of prosciutto
- 5-6 figs sliced
- Olive oil dor drizzling
- Aged balsamic or balsamic glaze for drizzling
- Basil leaves for garnish
Pre-heat the oven to 550 degrees Fahrenheit.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and divide the pizza dough in half or keep it whole for 1 large pizza.
Roll each dough ball into a 9–10-inch circle and spread a thin layer of creme fraiche onto the pizza dough and top with roughly torn mozzarella.
Gently tear large slices of prosciutto and place the slices around the pizza and layer the sliced figs on top and drizzle with olive oil.
Transfer the pizza to the hot oven on either a pizza stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden brown and cheese melts, about 7-10 minutes.
Once done, garnish the pizza with a drizzle of aged balsamic and fresh basil leaves.
