    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash the figs, then slice them thinly.

    2

    Coarsely chop the walnuts, then lightly toast them in a dry skillet to enhance their flavor.

    3

    In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

    4

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

    5

    Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.

    6

    Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    7

    Roll out the dough thinly and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

    8

    Evenly distribute the mozzarella and gorgonzola over the pizza base.

    9

    Arrange the fig slices on top, then sprinkle with the toasted walnuts and freshly ground black pepper.

    10

    Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    11

    Remove from the oven, then drizzle with honey and sprinkle with fresh rosemary.

    12

    Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect harmony of the figs' sweetness, the cheeses' creaminess, and the honey.
