• 1 cup arugula (lightly packed)
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Dust a clean surface with all-purpose flour, then roll out the pizza dough into a 10-12 inch circle.

Step 3

Carefully transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.

Step 4

Brush the surface of the dough with the olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.

Step 5

Scatter the crumbled blue cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the sliced figs and torn mozzarella pieces.

Step 6

Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 8

While the pizza is baking, toss the arugula lightly with a drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Top the pizza with the fresh arugula, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
