Sweet & Savory Fig and Prosciutto Pizza

Recipes Main Courses
"Pizza e Fichi" is also a Roman saying meaning "It's not just pizza and figs," implying something is worth more than it seems. This recipe celebrates the ancient marriage of honey-sweet figs and salty, cured prosciutto crudo. It's a seasonal delicacy prepared in late summer and early autumn when figs are ripe and jammy.

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Roll out the dough thinly.

Tip: This elegant pizza calls for a thin crust so the toppings can dominate.
2 ✓

Brush lightly with olive oil, then distribute the mozzarella slices.

Tip: A white base ensures the acidity of tomatoes doesn't interfere with the sweetness of the figs.
3 ✓

Cut the figs into quarters or rounds and place them on the cheese.

Tip: Figs have a high sugar content and will caramelize during baking, adding deeper flavors.
4 ✓

Tear the prosciutto around them and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Tip: The salty ham and cheese balance the fruit's sweetness.
5 ✓

Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

Tip: Watch closely, as the high sugar content in the figs means they can brown quickly.
6 ✓

Remove from oven, drizzle lightly with honey, and sprinkle with chopped rosemary.

Tip: The rosemary oils activate immediately on the hot pizza. The honey adds a glossy glaze.

Recipe FAQ

When should I add the ham?
There are two schools of thought: add it before baking for crispy prosciutto (like bacon), or after baking to keep its silky texture. This recipe cooks it for a crispy finish.
What if I don't have fresh figs?
You can use dried figs, but soak them in warm water first so they regain moisture and don't burn to a crisp.
