The Fall Fig Pizza Recipe | Pizza with Danielle

I love a fig pizza, or really anything with figs. I’m so excited for fig season and of course, I had to make a pizza with it. Some mistakes were made but I’ll tell you all about them below.

 

The Fall Fig

Something I’ve learned with sweet pizzas is you need to add a base spread of the fruit and then fruit on top as well. Otherwise, it’s not as tasty. On my first attempt at making this pizza I didn’t used a fig spread and I regretted it. I also used plain red onions and they weren’t as tasty. I definitely recommend the lime pickled onion method I shared with my pineapple pizza recipe.

Fig Pizza Ingredients

Makes 1 single pizza

• 1 Pizza dough of your choice
• 1 tbsp of fig spread
• 3-4 figs, halved
• 1/4 cup red onions, pickled
• 1/4 cup arugula

• 1/3 cup of low-moisture Mozzarella cheese, hand separated not pre-shredded

 

HOW TO MAKE THIS FIG PIZZA RECIPE

1. Follow the instructions for making the pizza dough you choose. Once the dough is ready for the oven add the ingredients in the following order.
2. Sprinkle the parmigiano reggiano cheese as the base for your ingredients.
3. Add dolups of fig spread around the pizza base leaving room for the crust.
4. Top that with onion and fig halves.
5. Now add the heavier mozzarella cheese on top of the pieces to keep them down and to keep them from getting too burnt in the oven.
6. Now you can pop that pizza right on in to the oven. Cook it according to the instructions from the pizza dough recipe you used.
7. Once you pull the pizza out, it’s time to add some arugula and balsamic glaze.
8. Then it’s time to sit back, relax and grab a fig themed drink. Enjoy!
