A quick and easy flatbread combining sweet figs, tangy goat cheese, salty prosciutto, and a honey balsamic glaze, perfect for entertaining or a cozy night in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ball of pizza dough (about 12 oz / 340 g) or store-bought flatbread
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 4–5 fresh figs, sliced (or dried figs soaked briefly in warm water)
  • 4 oz (115 g) goat cheese, crumbled
  • 3–4 thin slices of prosciutto
  • 2 tablespoons honey (local wildflower honey recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat for about 30 minutes.
  2. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a roughly 12-inch oval or circle about 1/4-inch thick. If using store-bought flatbread, place it on your baking sheet.
  3. Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top.
  4. Transfer the dough to the heated baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges start turning golden but center is still soft.
  5. Remove the partially baked dough from the oven. Evenly scatter crumbled goat cheese, then layer sliced figs and torn prosciutto pieces over the top.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes until crust is golden and crispy and goat cheese softens slightly.
  7. While baking, mix honey and balsamic glaze in a small bowl, adjusting ratio to taste.
  8. Once out of the oven, immediately drizzle the honey balsamic glaze over the flatbread, add freshly cracked black pepper, and optionally fresh thyme or arugula.
  9. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Pre-baking the dough is key to avoid sogginess. Use fresh figs when possible or soak dried figs to soften. Don’t overload goat cheese to keep flatbread light. Watch oven closely to avoid burning. Let honey-balsamic drizzle cool slightly before applying to prevent melting cheese or sogginess. Variations include vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and spicy options.
