Fig, Prosciutto & Rocket Pizza

The sweetness of figs paired with the saltiness of proscuitto is the perfect combination for this light and fresh pizza.

Ingredients

Pizza dough (click here for Marty’s homemade recipe)

8 ripe figs

4-5 slices of Prosciutto

Fresh rocket leaves (6-8)

Manuka Honey

Flaky sea salt

Freshly Ground black pepper

1 container (ball) of Fresh Buffalo Mozzarella

Extra virgin Olive Oil

 

To prepare the ingredients for the pizza:

Take 5 figs and cut them in half, scooping out the fruit into a mixing bowl. Mash the fruit up with a fork.

To the mashed figs add a pinch of salt, two twists of freshly ground pepper, a tablespoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of Manuka Honey. Mix thoroughly. This will be used as a sauce for the base of the pizza so don’t make it to early or it may go brown.

To assemble :

Roll out one Pizza dough ball to 30cm round then place on a peel or board covered with cornmeal so its doesn’t stick and is easy to slide off.

In the centre of the base place the fig sauce and spread out in a circular motion until the base is fully covered.

Tear up the ball of Buffalo mozzarella and place all over the pizza.

Quarter the 3 remaining figs and place over the pizza.

Slide onto your pizza stone and cook until golden, crispy and the cheese is bubbling. (about 5-7 minutes)

To Serve:

Tear up the prosciutto and drape over the pizza. Dress the pizza with the rocket.

To finish drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and serve.
