Directions
Caramelized Shallots
- Heat butter in large saucepan and cook shallots until caramelized. Stir in molasses and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Continue to cook and stir until all liquid has been absorbed. Set aside to cool.
Pizza
- Preheat a pizza stone or heavy baking pan in 500°F oven for 30 minutes or more. Meanwhile, spread figs on sheet pan or tray. Drizzle with olive oil and honey, then season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Roll pizza dough to about ¼-inch thick on 12 x 12-inch piece of parchment paper with a lightly floured rolling pin.
- Brush generously with olive oil and spread Caramelized Shallots over all. Arrange sliced figs about ½ inch apart on top of shallots and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle goat cheese evenly over all.
- Transfer pizza to preheated stone and bake, 10-15 minutes, until cheese and edge of crust are lightly browned. Remove from oven and transfer to cutting board. Let stand and cool slightly.
- Cut into wedges, and garnish with sliced prosciutto, parmesan, and arugula.
