FIG, PROSCIUTTO AND BLUE CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough: In a small bowl, combine the yeast with the sugar and 3/4 cup warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes until it begins to foam.
• In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour and salt and make a well in the center. Add the yeast mixture and the olive oil. Using a fork, incorporate the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until a dough forms. On a lightly floured surface, continue to work and then knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly coat a clean bowl with additional olive oil and add the dough, turning once to coat the dough in oil. Cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Punch down the dough and divide it into 2 pieces, using 1 piece for the pizza. Wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze for another pizza.
• For the pizza: Stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle that will fit on the grill pan. Add the dough to the hot grill pan and cook until stiff and bubbles start to form, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until grill marks form and the dough is completely cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Transfer the crust to a baking sheet. Lay the prosciutto slices over the crust, then top with the figs and blue cheese. Bake until the cheese melts, about 7 minutes. Serve immediately.

FIG, BLUE CHEESE AND SALAMI PIZZA RECIPE

Steps:

• Tip the flour, yeast and salt into a free-standing mixer or food processor, or bowl (if doing by hand) and slowly add the warm water until the dough comes together. Then add the rapeseed oil and kneed/mix for 10 minutes. The dough should feel moist and springy - add more water/flour as needed.
• Put the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to ]]> 220°C/425°F/Fan 200°C/Gas Mark 7.
• Cut the tomatoes into chunks and put in a small saucepan with the garlic, balsamic and a little oil over a high heat. Cook rapidly until the sauce thickens. Season and set aside.
• Knock the air out of the dough and then roll into a rectangle shape, using a rolling pin. When the dough is even, transfer to a large non-stick baking sheet.
• Smear the base with the tomato sauce, going right to the edges. Then dot the pizza with the other ingredients, making sure it's evenly covered.
• Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the base is crisp, making sure the topping doesn't burn. Serve immediately with a green salad.
