Ingredients
- 1 recipe Neapolitan Pizza Dough, or 2 pounds store-bought pizza dough
- 12 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into rough chunks and drained
- 20 ripe figs, cut into quarters
- 8 ounces goat's milk feta cheese
- Kosher salt
- 24 fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
Directions
-
1.
Divide dough into four even parts and place each in a covered quart-sized deli container or in a zipper-lock freezer bag. Allow to rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours before baking.
-
2.
Adjust oven rack to 6 inches under broiler and place stone or steel on rack. Preheat oven to highest possible temperature (500 or 550°F) for at least 45 minutes. Alternatively, use Kettle Pizza and Baking Steel grill insert.
-
3.
When ready to bake, turn single dough ball out onto lightly flour surface. Gently press out dough into rough 8-inch circle, leaving outer 1-inch higher than the rest. Gently stretch dough into a 10 to 12-inch circle about 1/4-inch thick by draping over knuckles and gently stretching. Transfer to floured wooden pizza peel.
-
4.
Preheat broiler to high. Spread 1/4 of mozzarella over pizza, followed by 1/4 of figs and 1/4 of goat's milk feta. Sprinkle lightly with salt, add 6 basil leaves, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil.
-
5.
Transfer pizza to hot stone or steel and broil until edges are puffed and lightly charred and bottom is crisp, rotating regularly for even cooking, 3 to 6 minutes total. Retrieve pizza with a metal peel and transfer to a cutting board. Allow to rest 1 minute. Meanwhile, switch oven back to 550°F to reheat stone for remaining pizzas.
-
6.
Drizzle hot pizza with 1 tablespoon honey. Slice and serve immediately.
-
7.
Repeat steps 4 through 6 for remaining pizzas.
