Ingredients
- Pre-made pizza or flatbread dough (about 12 oz / 340 g)
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (4 oz / 115 g)
- Fresh figs, sliced (about 6 medium figs)
- Prosciutto slices (4 oz / 115 g)
- Honey, for drizzling (2 tablespoons)
- Optional: Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs
- Optional: Cracked black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it on the middle rack while the oven heats up (about 15 minutes).
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pre-made dough into a roughly 12×8 inch (30×20 cm) rectangle or circle, about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
- Lightly brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to help the crust crisp up and prevent sogginess.
- Scatter the crumbled Gorgonzola evenly across the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) border around the edges.
- Place sliced fresh figs evenly on top of the cheese.
- Tear or lay whole slices of prosciutto over the figs.
- Transfer the flatbread to the oven (on a baking sheet or pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and immediately drizzle honey over the hot flatbread.
- Add fresh thyme or rosemary leaves and a few twists of cracked black pepper if desired.
- Let cool for 3-5 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges. Serve warm.
Notes
If figs are very ripe and juicy, pat dry before placing on dough to avoid sogginess. Add prosciutto mid-bake or towards the end to prevent burning. Drizzle honey after baking to avoid caramelization and bitterness. Use room temperature dough and cheese for best results. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flatbread or crust.
