Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Ball of Pizza Dough stretched to a 12-13 inch circle (1/2 of of my basic recipe, linked)
- cornmeal , for dusting the pizza paddle or baking sheet
- olive oil
- 1/2 cup balsamic caramelized onions (1/2 of a recipe, deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar)
- 4 ounce shredded fontina
- 1-1/2 ounce crumbled gorgonzola
- 5-6 fresh figs , sliced
- 2-3 lices Prosciutto di Parma , torn into pieces
- 1/4 cup baby arugula
- freshly-cracked black pepper
- Balsamic reduction (optional, see notes for instructions)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. If you have a pizza stone, preheat it with the oven.
- Place dough on a cornmeal-dusted pizza paddle (if you're using a baking stone), or a lightly-oiled and cornmeal-dusted baking pan.
- Lightly brush dough with olive oil. Layer with onions, Fontina, Gorgonzola, figs, and prosciutto.
- Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake either directly on the stone or the pan for 8-15 mins (pan will take longer than stone), until the crust is golden and crisp, the cheeses are melted, and the figs are jammy.
- Remove the pizza from the oven, let rest for a minute or two, and sprinkle with the baby arugula leaves. Season with a few grinds of black pepper. If desired, drizzle with balsamic reduction. Slice and serve.
Notes
- *To make a balsamic reduction, heat 1 c. of balsamic vinegar in a pot on the stove until bubbly. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. The reduction will thicken as it cools.
- (This will make more drizzle than you need for the pizza. Store any extra, tightly covered, in the refrigerator, for up to a few weeks.)
