Ingredients:
1 premade pizza dough
3 tbsp ricotta cheese
Few strips of prosciutto
Dried figs, chopped (or prunes or dates)
Box baby arugula
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425 °F
Hand stretch pizza dough to roughly a circular shape, don’t add any extra flour (or mess). Lay flat on a lightly oiled pizza pan for the best even cooking.
Spread ricotta cheese as the ‘base’ for the pizza, then top with chopped figs and prosciutto.
Bake for 10 minutes
Once finished, top with arugula and use the remainder of the greens for a quick salad tossed with olive oil and lemon juice. Enjoy!
