Equipment
- Outdoor Pizza Oven, Pizza Steel, or Stone (if using a home oven)
- 1 frying pan
- 1 wooden chopping board or peel for prep and serving
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough ball
- Fresh mozzarella cheese
- Feta cheese
- 2 – 3 Figs
- 1 red onion
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- Balsamic glaze
- Honey
- Rocket Leaves
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Follow any of our dough recipes. You will need to prepare the dough at least 24 hours ahead of time.
- Caramelise Onion: Finely slice the red onion and cook it in a pan with butter and extra virgin olive oil over low to medium heat, stirring every 5 minutes. Continue for 25-30 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized.
- Prepare Cheese: Place your fresh mozzarella in a container or bowl with a paper towel at the bottom to allow some of the water to drain. Tear fresh mozzarella into medium-sized pieces. Set aside
- Prepare Figs: Thinly slice your figs and lightly brush with extra virgin olive oil on each side. Set aside.
- Preheat Oven:If using an outdoor pizza like an Ooni pizza oven, aim for a temperature of 450-500°C at the center of your pizza stone. Use an infrared thermometer to ensure accuracy. It should take around 25-30 minutes to reach temperature.For a home oven, using a pizza steel or stone, place the stone or steel inside the oven and preheat to the highest temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare Base: On a lightly floured surface, stretch out the dough by hand according to the steps outlined in our dough recipe. Once you're happy with the shape of the base, lightly dust your pizza peel and transfer the dough onto the peel.
- Assemble Pizza: Start by drizzling a light amount of olive oil on the base of your dough. Next, add pieces of low moisture mozzarella evenly across the dough. The mozzarella pieces should be around 2 cm in diameter and at least 1.5 cms apart. Finally, add the fig slices, caramelised onions, and another light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Bake Your Pizza:If you're using an outdoor pizza oven, launch the pizza into the oven and bake for 60-90 seconds. Keep an eye on the pie and rotate every 10-15 seconds to ensure even cooking and to avoid burning.For a home oven with a pizza steel or stone, the bake time should be around 7-10 minutes.
- Serving: Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and place it on a serving board. Crumble some feta cheese on top, add rocket, followed by a drizzle of honey, and then another drizzle of balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
