Name: Fig, Gorgonzola, and Prosciutto Pizza
Total time: 30 min
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 1/4 cup olive oil; 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar; Salt and pepper; 1 pound pizza dough; 1/4 cup fig jam; 3 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (3/4 cup); 2 ounces (2 cups) baby arugula; 4 thin slices prosciutto, torn into 1-inch pieces

Why This Recipe Works

An oiled baking sheet helps ensure a crisp—not floppy—pizza crust.

Before You Begin

Fresh pizza dough can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.

Instructions

Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 500 degrees. Brush rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons oil. Whisk vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil together in bowl.

Roll dough into 16 by 10-inch oval on lightly floured counter, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer dough to prepared sheet and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Brush dough with jam and sprinkle with Gorgonzola, leaving 1/2-inch border.

Bake until cheese is melted and crust is browned, about 10 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking. Let pizza cool for 5 minutes. Toss arugula with vinaigrette. Distribute arugula and prosciutto over pizza. Serve.
