A delicious pizza where the sweet juiciness of figs meets the salty bite of prosciutto and the peppery crunch of arugula, finished with a drizzle of truffle oil for an elegant flavor combination.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (one packet)
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water, about 110°F (43°C)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for dough)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp honey or sugar
  • 6–8 medium fresh figs, sliced
  • 4 oz (115g) prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh arugula (loosely packed)
  • 8 oz (225g) mozzarella cheese, shredded or torn fresh
  • 3 oz (85g) goat cheese, crumbled (optional)
  • Olive oil, for brushing crust
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1–2 tsp truffle oil, for drizzling
  • Flaky sea salt (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F/43°C), honey, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until dough starts to come together.
  3. Knead the dough: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add flour sparingly if sticky.
  4. Let the dough rise: Lightly oil a clean bowl, place dough inside, cover with damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven and baking surface: Place baking stone or sheet in oven and preheat to 475°F (245°C) at least 30 minutes before baking.
  6. Shape the dough: Punch down dough and roll or stretch into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle on a floured surface. Transfer to parchment paper.
  7. Add cheese and figs: Spread shredded mozzarella evenly over dough, leaving crust bare. Arrange sliced figs on top, spaced out.
  8. Bake the pizza: Slide parchment with pizza onto hot stone or baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese bubbly, rotating halfway if needed.
  9. Add prosciutto and arugula: Remove pizza from oven and immediately top with prosciutto slices and a handful of fresh arugula.
  10. Finish with truffle oil and seasoning: Drizzle 1-2 tsp truffle oil over pizza, sprinkle fresh cracked black pepper and flaky sea salt if desired. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Use ripe but firm fresh figs to avoid soggy pizza. Preheat baking surface thoroughly for a crispy crust. Brush crust edges with olive oil before baking. Add prosciutto and arugula after baking to keep texture and flavor. Use truffle oil sparingly as it is potent. Rotate pizza halfway through baking for even cooking. For dairy-free version, omit cheeses and double arugula or add balsamic glaze instead of truffle oil.
