Ingredients
- 1 (48-ounce) frozen pizza dough, thawed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 fresh figs
- 1 cup baby arugula
- 1/2 cup shaved manchego cheese, or Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
-
Cut pizza dough in half. On a floured surface, roll out both pieces into 8-inch circles (or oblong shapes, depending on preference).
-
Wash, dry and slice the figs in half, lengthwise. Brush cut sides with a little vegetable oil.
-
Place dough and figs on the grill. Grill one side of dough only, about 2 minutes, until it starts to brown. Grill figs for 2 to 4 minutes. Watch for burning. Remove crusts and figs.
-
Once figs have cooled a bit, cut once more lengthwise. This will allow you to place them onto the crust with a little more ease.
-
Using a pastry or sauce brush, apply olive oil to the cooked side of the dough, carefully add figs on top.
-
Place pizza (raw side down) once more onto the grill grate. Close lid and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until dough is golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove from heat and place onto a large cookie sheet.
-
Top pizzas with baby arugula, shaved Manchego or Parmesan cheese, and drizzle with your favorite balsamic vinegar. Slice and serve.
