Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • ¾ cup (180ml) warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 to 10 medium fresh figs, halved
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 ounces (115g) prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces (115g) gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt for finishing

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast and prepare dough (10 minutes + 1 hour rising): In a small bowl, combine the warm water (110°F/43°C) with the instant yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover w…
  2. Preheat oven and prepare figs (10 minutes): Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil your pizza stone. Meanwhile, toss the fig halves gently with honey and the chopped rosemary on a small plate or bowl. Set aside to let them soak in that sweetness while you shape the dough.
  3. Shape the flatbread (5 minutes): Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll or stretch it out into a rough rectangle or oval about 12 x 8 inches (30 x 20 cm) thick enough to hold the toppings but thin enough to crisp nicely. Transfer carefully to your prepared baking surface. Brush the top lightly with olive oil.
  4. Assemble toppings (5 minutes): Arrange the honey-roasted figs evenly over the dough, placing them cut side up so they caramelize beautifully. Scatter the crumbled gorgonzola around the figs, then drape the prosciutto slices over and around the cheese and fruit. Grind fresh black pepper over the top.
  5. Bake the flatbread (12-15 minutes): Place the tray or stone in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp, the cheese melted, and the figs tender and slightly caramelized. Keep an eye on it after 10 minutes to avoid burning the honey.
  6. Finish and serve (2 minutes): Once baked, remove from the oven and brush the crust edges with a little more olive oil for shine and flavor. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over everything, then slice into pieces and serve warm.

Notes

Do not overload the dough with toppings to avoid soggy crust. Honey-roast figs first to caramelize sugars and keep fruit moist. Use room temperature ingredients for best flavor and texture. Preheat baking surface for a crisp crust. Watch oven closely to prevent honey from burning. Brushing dough with olive oil before baking enhances crust texture and flavor. For extra crunch, broil for 2 minutes after baking if needed.
