Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 ounces blue cheese, good quality
  • 5 ounces mozzarella, freshly grated
  • 6 slices prosciutto, sliced thin
  • 3 each, black figs, ripe, cut in half, then into quarters
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • ¼ cup caramelized onions
  • ½ cup of fresh baby arugula
Instructions
  1. Preheat the pizza oven to 500 - 600 degrees. Watch this short video to show you how to get your pizza oven started.
  2. Sprinkle some semolina on the countertop, and start to form the pizza dough into a 10 - 12 inch pizza. Using your hands and knuckles, stretch the dough gently, rotating your hands around the edge of the pizza, allowing the pizza to stretch in all directions. If needed, the use of a rolling pin can be used to help stretch out the pizza dough.
  3. Let the dough rest for a minute, and if needed, go back and work the dough again to desired size.
  4. Drizzle the evoo evenly onto the pizza dough.
  5. Add the freshly grated mozzarella.
  6. Add the caramelized onions evenly onto the pizza.
  7. Finally, place the cut figs on to the pizza so that once sliced, every piece will get a couple slices of figs.
  8. With the Bull Pizza Peel, carefully place the pizza on top of the peel. The use of the semolina makes this process easier and allows the pizza dough to move.
  9. Place the pizza in the corner opposite of the fire and let it cook for about 4 to 5 minutes.
  10. Once the dough starts to bubble and turn slightly brown, rotate the pizza so the back of the pizza is now rotated towards the front.
  11. Right before the pizza is done, gently remove with the pizza peel and add the blue cheese.
  12. Let it cook for another minute or two, and remove from the oven. To serve, place the prosciutto on top of the pizza and to finish, top off with the baby arugula and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
  13. Cut into as many slices desired and serve immediately. Your guests will go crazy!
