Procuitto + Fig + Gorgonzola Dolce Pizza

Oh man, pizza is so satisfying, and super easy when you skip the sauce and just throw on super tasty ingredients, like really nice procuitto with dried figs and Gorgonzola dolce. So good. I like to make my own dough, just use the dough recipe from that last pizza post. Or you can totally buy dough at Whole Foods. Easy. Here's how to make it.

Ingredients
1 batch of pizza dough
5 pieces of procuitto
Handful of dried figs, halved
Handful of grated mozzarella
5 long slices of gorgonzola dolce

Since a home oven doesn't get as hot as a traditional pizza oven I have a trick to get your crust crispy and delicious. Flour a pizza stone or baking sheet lightly. Stretch out your dough to about 9 inches in diameter. Pop the dough into the oven (bare) for about 5 minutes or until it starts to lightly brown. Pull out your 'za. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the handful of mozzarella evenly over the dough. Evenly spread out the gorgonzola slices. Dot the fig halves around evenly in between the Gorgonzola. Drape the procuitto slices around, letting the figs peak out. Pop back in The oven until golden and bubbly - with a dark brown crust. Awesome! Enjoy.
