Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
'Pizza e Fichi' is also a Roman saying meaning 'It's not just pizza and figs', implying something is significant. This recipe celebrates the ancient marriage of sweet, honeyed figs and salty, cured ham (Prosciutto Crudo). A seasonal treat made in late summer and early autumn when figs are ripe and jam-like.

Equipment Needed

  • Pizza stone or baking tray

Allergen Information

⚠️ Cereals containing gluten
⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Roll out the dough thinly.

Tip: This pizza demands an elegant, thin crust so the toppings dominate.
2 ✓

Brush thinly with olive oil, then distribute the mozzarella slices over it.

Tip: A white base ensures tomato acidity doesn't clash with the fig sweetness.
3 ✓

Cut the figs into quarters or rounds and place on the cheese.

Tip: Figs have high sugar content and will caramelise during baking, adding deeper flavours.
4 ✓

Tear the ham around them and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Tip: The salty ham and cheese balance the fruit's sweetness.
5 ✓

Bake at 220°C for 12-15 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.

Tip: Be careful, figs can catch the heat quickly due to their high sugar content!
6 ✓

Remove from oven, drizzle thinly with honey and sprinkle with chopped rosemary.

Tip: Rosemary oils activate immediately on the hot pizza. Honey adds a glossy glaze.

Recipe FAQ

When should I add the ham?
There are two schools of thought: add it before baking for crispy ham (like bacon), or after baking to keep its silky texture. We are making the baked version here.
What if I don't have fresh figs?
You can use dried figs, but soak them in lukewarm water beforehand so they regain moisture and don't burn to a crisp.
