Description
Give your homemade pizza a gourmet touch by adding fresh figs.
Ingredients
- 1 Batch Trader Joe’s Whole Wheat Pizza Dough, Or Your Favorite (See Note)
- ¼ cups Barbecue Sauce
- 4 ounces, weight Thinly Sliced Mozzarella Cheese
- 10 whole Fresh Figs, Sliced About 1/4-inch Thick
- 10 whole Button Or Baby Bella Mushrooms, Sliced About 1/4-inch Think
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Parsley
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400ºF if using Trader Joe’s pizza dough. Otherwise, set your oven to the temperature listed on your pizza dough/crust instructions. Spray a pizza stone or baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface according to package instructions and transfer to pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread barbecue sauce evenly over the dough, top with slices of mozzarella cheese, then the fig and mushroom slices.
Bake pizza for 20–25 minutes (see note), until crust is deep brown (for whole wheat) or golden brown (for regular crust) and puffy. Remove from the oven, let cool about 5 minutes and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Notes:
1. If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s, you can always substitute pizza dough from your local supermarket or a pre-made crust.
2. The Trader Joe’s crust recommends a bake time of 8–10 minutes. It took 26 minutes for my crust to cook all the way through.
