Ingredients

• 1 ball Pre-made pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 pieces Fresh figs
• 150 grams Taleggio cheese
• 100 grams Fresh mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Arugula
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a roughly 12-inch circle or oval.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper to make it easier to transfer to the oven.

Step 4

Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.

Step 5

Slice the fresh figs into thin rounds and set aside.

Step 6

Cut the Taleggio cheese and fresh mozzarella into small pieces for easier melting.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the Taleggio and mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by the sliced figs.

Step 8

Season the pizza with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Scatter the arugula over the top of the pizza, then drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness.

Step 12

Slice and serve immediately for a perfect blend of savory, sweet, and fresh flavors!
