Head on over to Facebook page to check out a live video recipe I create for it.

Fig and Prosciutto Pizza
- 1 lb store bought pizza dough, divided in half
- 1/4 cup fig jam, mixed with 2 to 3 tbs. water
- 6 oz. sliced prosciutto
- 4 oz. goat cheese
- handful of arugula
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar
- freshly ground pepper
Pre-heat oven to 425°F.
On a well floured surface roll out each dough half into a 10" - 12" diameter, about 1/2" thick.
Sprinkle a pinch of flour in the bottom of a cold cast iron skillet. Gently place the dough into the skillet and place over medium heat. Spoon half of the fig jam mixture over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2" border. Top with half of the prosciutto and half of the goat cheese. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the crust begins to set.
Transfer pizza and skillet to the oven and bake the pizza for 10 - 12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Top warm pizza with a handful of arugula, half of the parmesan cheese, a drizzle of the balsamic vinegar and a pinch of freshly ground pepper.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Makes 2 pizzas.
