Key Ingredients

Ingredients for white fig pizza, figs, prosciutto, pizza dough, burrata, olive oil, arugula.

Pizza dough - Pizza dough is the foundation for the pizza. We love Trader Joe's pizza dough because it bakes nicely and combines nicely with the burrata, figs, and prosciutto. We also like DeLallo and Eataly's fresh pizza dough when we don't make our own from scratch.
Figs - We use brown turkey figs because of their sweet and mild flavor. If you prefer richer figs, try black mission.
Prosciutto - Prosciutto's deep savoriness balances the sweetness of the figs.
Burrata cheese - Burrata is a creamy and rich cheese that tastes delicious with the prosciutto and figs.
Arugula - Arugula adds a delicious peppery accent.

See recipe card for quantities.

Substitutions and Variations

Sweet - Drizzle some honey or a balsamic glaze to balance out the other rich savory flavors.
Spicy - If you want to add spice, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or some Hot Honey Sauce.
Mozzarella - Use mozzarella instead of burrata if you prefer the lighter and more familiar flavor.
Fig Jam - If you don't have fresh figs or want a lighter fig flavor, use fig jam. If you use fig jam, spread it on the dough when it is done baking, bake it for a minute to let it set, then add the rest of the ingredients.

How to Make Fig Pizza

Steps to make white fig pizza, brush baking sheet with olive oil, spread pizza dough, brush dough with olive oil, and bake.

Let dough temper - Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven - Place the oven rack in the middle tier and preheat the oven to 475°F.
Prepare pizza - Stretch the dough by hand or use a rolling pin to create a 12-inch circle or a 9x13" rectangle. Lightly oil a pizza pan or baking sheet with half of the olive oil and place the dough on in the pan. (Photo 1 and 2)
Bake pizza - Then brush the entire pizza with olive oil. Bake pizza on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes or until the bottom of the crust is lightly browned. Then remove from the oven. (Photo 3 and 4)

Steps to make white fig prosciutto pizza, brush baked dough, then layer burrata, prosciutto, figs, and arugula, and slice.

Brush the crust - Brush the baked crust with a light layer of olive oil. (Photo 5)
Add toppings - Gently tear the burrata and arrange on the pizza. Use the back of a spoon to spread out the burrata to create an even layer on the pizza dough within the crust. Add the prosciutto, figs, baby arugula, and grated parmigiano-reggiano. (Photo 6 and 7)
Serve - Cut into 8 slices. Then serve immediately. (Photo 8)

Pro tip - If using a domed pizza oven, like Gozney or Ooni, reduce the cook time to accommodate the oven. Cook times will be closer to 5 minutes or less.

Top Tips

Since it is a simple pizza, be sure to use high quality ingredients.
Spread the dough carefully to ensure the dough is evenly thick throughout and doesn't have any holes.
Use a pizza cutter to make it easier to cut the pizza into slices. It is much easier than a knife.
When reheating the pizza, reheat it at a low temperature so you don't overcook the ingredients.

Fig Pizza FAQs

What kind of figs are best for pizza?

We prefer brown turkey figs, but you can use black mission or tiger figs depending on your preference.

How do I prevent the figs from burning?

The figs won't burn if you add them in the last few minutes of baking.
