Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

    • Bring the pizza dough to room temperature before rolling out, which will make the dough easier to stretch out.
    • Pre-heat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 30 minutes before cooking the pizza.
    • A pizza stone is essential for a crispy crust, but a good alternative is using an upside down baking sheet.
    • Yields 1 large pizza or 2 medium sized pizzas.
