Print Recipe

A quick and easy pizza recipe combining sweet fig jam, salty prosciutto, melty cheeses, fresh arugula, and a tangy balsamic glaze for a gourmet flavor experience at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ball (about 12 ounces / 340 grams) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 tablespoons fig jam (chunky variety recommended)
  • 4 ounces (about 115 grams) prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup packed fresh arugula
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up for about 30 minutes.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll or stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Let rest for 5 minutes if it resists stretching.
  3. Lightly oil a baking sheet and place the dough on top, or use a floured pizza peel or flat baking sheet if using a pizza stone.
  4. Brush the edges of the dough lightly with olive oil.
  5. Spread 3 tablespoons of fig jam evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
  6. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the fig jam, then dot with crumbled goat cheese.
  7. Bake the pizza on the preheated stone or baking sheet for 10–12 minutes, until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
  8. Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately layer the thin slices of prosciutto on top.
  9. Scatter fresh arugula over the pizza.
  10. Drizzle the balsamic glaze generously over the pizza and season lightly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  11. Let the pizza rest for a minute, then slice into 6–8 pieces and serve warm.

Notes

If fig jam is too thick, warm slightly to spread easily. Add prosciutto after baking to keep it tender. Preheat pizza stone or baking sheet for a crisp crust. Balsamic glaze is best added just before serving to maintain shine and flavor. For gluten-free, substitute dough with cauliflower crust or gluten-free base. Avoid overloading toppings to prevent soggy crust.
