We are finally back home from our vacation in Florida! It was such a fun and relaxing time with my Hubby. Last Saturday (our last day in FL.) while waiting for Hubby to get ready, I was watching the Food Network and the Pioneer Woman was on, she was making this pizza and it looked so good! Since then,I’ve been thinking about this Fig- Prosciutto pizza, I LOVEEEEEEE anything that has prosciutto,well actually I LOVE LOVE LOVE prosciutto( I hope you get the idea). So I made this for dinner tonight, and after eating half of it, the cravings gone! I will definitely make this pizza again, so good and so easy ( I bought the pizza crust from the store)! Just delicious and I’m in prosciutto heaven.

Preparation Instructions
NOTE: PIZZA INGREDIENTS IN THIS RECIPE ARE FOR 1/3 OF THE PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE. USE LEFTOVER DOUGH TO MAKE OTHER KINDS OF PIZZA!
Sprinkle yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm (not lukewarm) water.
In a mixer, combine flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with paddle attachment), drizzle in olive oil until combined with flour. Next, pour in yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined.
Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil, and form the dough into a ball. Toss to coat dough in olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise for at least an hour. Use right away or store in the fridge until you need it. ***It’s best to make the dough at least 24 hours in advance, and 3 or 4 days is even better.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Roll out 1/3 of the pizza dough as thinly as possible. Place on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. Spread fig spread (or jam) all over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
Lay sliced of mozzarella all over the surface. Sprinkle lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Remove from oven and immediately lay prosciutto over hot pizza. Just before serving, sprinkle on arugula and Parmesan shavings.
Cut into wedges or squares and serve immediately!
